Just like this Whole30 Beanless Chili. It’s so good and Whole30 so how can you go wrong?

Even if you aren’t doing the Whole30, it’s a great recipe to make!

I use grass fed ground beef…..

…and a secret ingredient. ;) Well, not so secret, cocoa.
I love the richness it adds.

Blend up the tomato paste, garlic, cocoa, seasonings, etc and add it to the browned beef.

Next I add in the chicken (or beef) broth and sauteed veggies.

No need for beans when you’ve got all of that good stuff.

I actually no longer eat beans as my husband and I did the Whole30 2 years and I realized (okay, I already knew ;) ) that beans and I don’t get along.
So I have not really eaten them at all in 2 years.
I can tell you, I don’t even miss them one bit ….and they aren’t even missed in this recipe. Truly!

This Whole30 beanless chili is so thick and hearty and delicious.

If you are not doing the Whole30, throw some cheese up on there! ;)
