This recipe puts a twist on the traditional chili removing the beans and adding some extra kick. It’s easy to make with minimal ingredients and can be made in a large quantity to eat over multiple days. You can cook your carbs on the side to make this dish meet your macros. It’s paleo, grain and gluten-free. Serve over rice, quinoa or sweet potatoes and top with fresh avocado for a full balanced macronutrient meal. For lower carbs serve over zucchini noodles, butternut or spaghetti squash.
