If you could only have smelled the chili cooking last night in my home! I knew after tasting my latest paleo dish creation that I needed to share it with you all. I got this recipe from the Civilized Caveman website. There are a lot of great recipes on here so I highly suggest taking a look around.
So here it is, Spicy Pineapple Chili
Ingredients
- 1 pound bacon, cut into thin strips
- 2 medium onions, diced
- 2 bell peppers, diced
- 2 jalapeños, diced (seeds optional) (I used diced jalapenos from a jar)
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 pounds, grass fed ground beef
- 1/4 cup chili powder (didn’t use this, used paprika instead)
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- red pepper flakes (optional)
- sea salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 (20-ounce) can of diced pineapple
- 1 (15-ounce) can of tomato sauce
- 1 (14-ounce) can of fire roasted diced tomatoes
Instructions
- Preheat a large Stock Pot or Dutch Oven over medium heat
- Brown your thin strips of bacon in your pan
- Add in your onions, peppers, jalapeños, and garlic and continue to cook, stirring often for 5 minutes or until your onions become translucent
- Now add in your ground beef, chili powder, and cumin and stir until your ground beef is cooked through
- Add in all your remaining ingredients, stir well, and increase heat until your chili comes to a boil
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 Minutes

As the chili simmered, I was upstairs working and let me tell you, the smell wafting upstairs certainly made me hungry!
Bon appetit!
