How to Make the Best Paleo Beef and Sweet Potato Chili?
Ground Beef: I like to use a lean version 95%, but feel free to use 80% if you don't mind draining extra fat.
Sweet Potatoes: You wouldn't typically think of adding sweet potatoes to a chili recipe, but this one brings out a delicious sweetness to the recipe.
Mushrooms: Anywhere I can sneak in some vitamin D rich mushrooms, I find a way. They will definitely help boost your immunity during the colder months.
Spices: I came up with the perfect spice blend to make the best chili recipe. It consists of cayenne pepper, red pepper, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, and salt & pepper.
