Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive or avocado oil
- 2 lbs grass-fed ground beef
- 1 medium zucchini, diced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 red pepper, diced
- 1 green pepper, diced
- 1 cup matchstick carrots
- 1 jalapeno pepper, diced
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 15 oz. can tomato sauce
- 1 15 oz. can fire roasted diced tomatoes
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- ½ tbsp cumin
- 1 tsp tumeric
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (more to taste)
- ½ tbsp smoked paprika
Instructions
- Heat oil over medium high heat in a large cast iron skillet. Add onions, peppers, garlic, jalapeno, and carrots. Saute until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes, then turn heat to low.
- Meanwhile, brown the ground beef in a separate skillet until cooked through. Add the beef to the veggies.
- Add tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, broth, and spices and stir to combine. Bring to a boil over medium heat and then reduce heat to low. Simmer for 30 mins to 1 hours - the longer the better! Enjoy!
Notes
This can also be made in a crock pot - just brown the ground beef first and mix all ingredients into the crock pot. Set on low for 8-10 hours.
