crock pot slowcooker recipe wellness mama paleo primal 300x219 5 Ingredient Crock Pot Chili [Bean Free]

Chili is a wonderful and filling easy meal that can be made ahead and tastes great reheated. It is also a meal that can easily be made grain free, bean free, etc and served to guests who aren’t used to “health food” without anyone even noticing.

We serve crock pot chili with coconut flour biscuits and I add some grated cheese, diced green onions and garlic to the biscuits to make them savory.

Re-heated, this chili is also good in omelets or on top of eggs. A big pot at the beginning of the week also makes enough for plenty of healthy lunches during the week.

How do you make chili? Add any unusual flavorings? My husband’s favorite is with chocolate and cinnamon (Cincinnati Style) What’s yours?

    I am enjoying your recipes so much. Over a month ago my husband and I went wheat free, gluten free, low carb and we are doing great. I used your link to the coconut flour biscuits and printed that out too. I am the kind who gets ideas from recipes and then run with it, so the biscuits will be fun. I don’t measure and I was finding it difficult at the beginning learning the textures of almond flour, coconut flour, buckwheat flour. My first two tries at pancakes were hilarious. But there is not going back to any of the old food items and I am feeling so much better. Your ideas have been a huge help to me in the adjustment phase. Thanks.

    Do you have any suggestions for a substitute for the tomatoes and tomato sauce? I can’t eat tomato products. Bummer. Thanks.

    I substitute pumpkin puree for the tomato sauce for a hearty, seasonal twist. Everything else stays the same, except I add extra cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves to the spice mix.

    We love chili in our house but gave it up about a year ago when we discovered my husband is highly allergic to CUMIN!! Any suggestions to make it still taste like chili without cumin?

  • http://wellnessmama.com Wellness Mama

    maybe mild chili powder and some powdered dehydrated sweet peppers?

  • Angela

    Just leave out the cumin all together.  My recipe does not call for any at all.  Enjoy.  I would love to try the tomato replacement with pumpkin.

  • Christy Hampton

    My dad also adds parsley (or cilantro), oregano, basil, bay leaves, beer (I’m guessing this isn’t grain free), and butter (near the end).

    I love crock pot recipes.  They are such a time saver!  However, I’ve been a bit concerned with the lead and cadmium content in many crock pot inserts.  I’ve been using my crock pot much less in favor of a cast iron dutch oven.

    katie, i just had to tell you that i made this recipe. i’ve never been a fan of chili and especially never liked the beans in it. this was wonderful! we had it early in the week when i was not feeling well. i was grateful for the crock pot and that i could dump frozen meat in and have it be done. i think the last of the leftovers will be gone today. my husband said it was good and i should put it in the chili cookoff next year. for dinner last night, i cooked an acorn squash, then topped it with the chili and some sour cream and cheese. delish! thank you for the great (and easy) recipe.

    I did a search for “easy Paleo crockpot chili”, and this came up, so I went with it. My wife, who is very picky about food, said, “This is so good, I’m getting full, but I don’t want to stop eating it!” Made your coconut biscuits with it. They also went over VERY well with both mom and 3 year old daughter. Have bookmarked your site for future reference!

    I remember making this a year ago before my little guy was born and being drawn to it because it was so easy — dumping frozen meat in the crockpot? Win! I am making this again today, hoping the frozen meat cooks in time. I am using beef sausage, pork sausage and grass-fed beef. I eyeballed the spices, but last year I don’t remember if I measured them and regardless, it turned out fine! I froze the extras and saved it for after the baby was born and it helped serve some of my family who visited. Thanks for this easy and gas-free chili idea! (We all know about beans as the magical fruit!) :)
