Chili Chili Bang Bang

With fall right around the corner and rainy days ahead, I decided to make a classic crock pot chili.  Typically, chili includes beans, but with the Paleo diet, beans are forbidden.  My paleo take on this dish is below:

Ingredients:

1 pound of ground meat
3 cups of zucchini
3 cups of squash
1 large can of tomato sauce
4 jalapenos
2 cups of chopped onions
2 red peppers
1 small can of green chilis in liquid
4 tbs of chili powder
2 tbs of cumin
1 tbs of cayenne pepper
1 tbs crushed red pepper
salt and pepper

Instructions:

1. Brown the meat in a skillet.  Drain.
2.  Combine all ingredients in a crock pot and cook for 4 hours.

Aside from the chopping, this is a super easy recipe.  One can even start it in the morning and cook it in the crock pot on low all day only to come home to a delicious meal.  The recipe serves 6-8 so invite some friends over and enjoy!
