Whole30 Beef Chili

Preheat a large pot with a drizzle of olive oil. Add beef and cook for about 7 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon as you go.

When beef is browned and cooked through, add vegetables to the pot. Stir for about 5 minutes to soften the veggies, then add chili powder, smoked paprika, and tomato paste. Stir seasonings into the veggie mixture.

Add diced tomatoes, liquid aminos, and beef stock to the pot. Stir to combine and let the chili come to a simmer. Taste the chili and add several pinches of salt to your preference.

Cover the chili, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the veggies are tender. If the chili seems dry or too thick, add more stock until you reach a consistency you like. Taste for salt once more, and serve immediately or turn the heat off and reheat before eating.
