Chili Con Carne Recipe

Chili Con Carne is a classic meal that makes a great Sunday dinner and is equally delicious for a quick weeknight meal or added to your meal prep for a busy week.

I used a grass-fed ground beef* for this recipe, but you can easily sub in ground bison, turkey or even chicken if you prefer.  It’s a super versatile recipe, so tweak it to make it work for you.

Like chili as much as I do?  Try some of these:
  • Clean Eating Turkey Chili
  • Chicken + White Bean Chili
  • Cinnamon Spiked Lamb + Chickpea Chili
  • Sweet Potato + Black Bean Chili
  • Butternut Squash Chili
LOOKING FOR HIGH QUALITY MEAT OPTIONS? TrY Butcher BOx!

If you’re not paying attention to where your meat is coming from, it may be something you want to think about.

ButcherBox delivers grass-fed, grass-finished, antibiotic and hormone free chicken, beef and pork right to your doorstep on a monthly basis (very convenient!).

I’ve been using ButcherBox for over a year now and I am a huge fan.  They make it super easy to get your hands on good quality meat that tastes great.  If you want to give them a try, they are offering everyone in the C&D Family $20 off their first box + free bacon (woot!).

So if you’ve been thinking of upgrading the quality of your meat, now would be a great time to give ButcherBox a try.

    Omg!!! I made this A little leery because I have made lots of healthier options chili’s from online recipes and none are that great but this was freaking delicious my whole family loved it. Oh also I messed up a tad. I didn’t know what the chipotle stuff was so I didn’t get it and I thought it was a whole can of tomato paste (small one). Also I added a tap. Of pepper flakes. It was dangerously good like I could have just kept eating it.

    I have tried dozens of recipes. This is the best and easiest recipe ever. I use olive oil and add extra meat (3# for a double recipe.)
