The Power of Bone Broth

To begin with, let’s talk a bit about bone broth. Bone broth has grown in popularity in the past decade thanks to its perceived health benefits. Among these are promoting joint health, skin elasticity, and improved immune function. I love feeding my family healthy foods; this is an easy way to add a nutrient-rich, protein-packed ingredient to their diet.

Wholesome Ingredients

As I said before, I love cooking healthy meals like this Wholesome Butternut Squash Soup. I find that, during the wintertime, we tend to change our eating habits. Eating enough vegetables gets to be a bit of a challenge. This Cozy Bone Broth Chili is so delicious and filling. It is also full of wholesome ingredients and will warm you up from the inside out. To make this chili you will need the following ingredients.

• 2 lbs of lean ground beef
• 2 cups of bone broth
• 1 24 oz can of crushed tomatoes
• 2 cans of kidney or black beans
• 2 bell peppers
• 1 onion
• 1 cup frozen corn
• 4 cloves of garlic
• 1 bunch of cilantro
• sour cream or Greek yogurt for topping
• cheese for topping
• 4 tbsp of chili powder
• 2 tbsp smoked paprika
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 1/2 tsp real salt
• olive oil

Make the chili

Start by heating about 3 tbsp of olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Can I just say I love my Dutch oven, here is another Dutch oven recipe perfect for fall.

When the olive oil is hot add minced garlic, diced onions, and bell peppers. Cook until soft.

Once soft add your ground beef and brown.

Next, add all the spices

Continue to brown the meat until almost fully cooked.

Rinse the kidney beans and then add them along with the corn.

Mix all ingredients in the pot and then add the crushed tomatoes and bone broth. Mix again.

Bring to a slow boil and then lower heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for at least 30 minutes.

Chili will turn a dark rich color when done. Add cilantro to taste. I love using cilantro because it is a great detoxifier and adds to the benefits of this wholesome meal. Plus it tastes amazing.

Enjoy!

I like to serve this chili with cornbread or tortilla chips. My family also loves to top it off with shredded cheese and sour cream. If you are looking for even more protein try swapping out the sour cream for full-fat Greek yogurt.
