Primal No-bean Chili

This recipe is based off my best friend's recipe, you can see the original here.   My version is almost the same, minus the turkey part. :)

• 2lbs of ground meat of your choice (pork/beef mix is one of my favorites).  
• 1 piece of bacon
• 1 onion
• 1 green pepper
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 pint of tomatoes (or 16oz can of crushed tomatoes)
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 1 1/2 tbsp ancho chili pepper
• 1 tbsp oregano
• 2 tsp cumin
• 2 tsp paprika
• 1/4 tsp cayenne (I'm a wimp)
• salt and pepper

1. Put crushed tomatoes and stock into your crock pot, and begin cooking on low.

2. Put in ground meat of your choice.  Please note, if you use ground turkey or chicken you will need added fat, so add 1 tablespoon of tallow/lard to your pan before frying up your meat, or fry up some bacon for the bacon grease as Jessica suggested).

3.  While your ground meat is browning, cut up onion, pepper, garlic and place aside.

4. When meat is almost done, add ancho chili powder, salt and pepper to the pan.  Cook until done.

5.  Put everything in the pan (grease and all) into your slow cooker.

6.  Put the pan back on the burner, and cook your pepper and onion until it's slightly golden.  At the last minute, throw in the garlic.

7.  Place your veggies in the slow cooker.

8.  Add the rest of your spices, and cook on low for 4-6 hours.
