Chili and Paleo work extremely well together because it’s a great way to mix a lot of meat with a lot of vegetables. The biggest change up to a traditional chili recipe is getting the beans out because there’s no legumes when eating Paleo. Whenever I am craving a good hearty, soul-satisfying bowl of paleo chili, these are the recipes I make again and again. They also freeze very well, so make extra and freeze the leftovers for a quick meal later.
