Mix up The Meat Chili

Category: entrees

1 lb organic ground beef. You can also use a good quality sausage, buffalo or elk meat if available.
2 Large sweet onions, chopped in large pieces
1 tablespoon paprika
3-4 tablespoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper powder (or more if you like it really hot!)
2 cans 27 oz. each, low sodium kidney beans.
2 large cans organic tomatoes, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped in large pieces
1 orange bell pepper, chopped in large pieces
1 yellow bell pepper, chopped in large pieces
1 small can organic tomato paste
sea salt to taste
1 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon flour
1-2 tablespoons water.

Heat olive oil in large skillet or deep stock pot. Sear beef, turn heat to medium, add paprika. Stir beef to evenly distribute paprika and continue to cook beef until done, stirring occasionally. Add chopped onion and chopped bell peppers, mix with cooked beef. Add chili powder and cayenne pepper and stir until all vegetables are coated. Cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Add kidney beans, tomato paste and chopped tomatoes. Mix flour with water until it is smooth and forms a paste. Add flour paste to chili mixture and turn heat up to medium high for 4-5 minutes, stirring as needed. Turn heat to simmer and cook 3-4 hours
