Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 onions medium, diced (about 2 cups)
- 4 garlic cloves minced (about 4 teaspoons)
- 2 pounds lean ground beef
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 tablespoons ground cumin
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa unsweetened
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 6 ounces tomato paste can
- 14 1/2 ounces diced fire-roasted tomatoes can
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Heat a large, deep pot over medium-high heat, then add the coconut oil. When the oil is melted, add onions, stir with a wooden spoon and cook until they're translucent, about 7 minutes. Add the garlic and as soon as it's fragrant, about 30 seconds, crumble the brown meat into the pan with your hands, mixing with the wooden spoon to combine. Continue to cook the meat, stirring often, until it's no longer pink.
- In a small bowl, crush the oregano between your palms to release the flavor, then add the chili powder, cumin, cocoa, allspice, and salt. Combine with a fork, then add to the pot, stirring like you mean it. Add tomato paste and stir until combined, about 2 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes with their juice, beef broth, and water to the pot. Stir well. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat so the chili enjoys a gentle simmer. Simmer uncovered for at least 2 hours. Do not skimp on the simmer!
