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.
