Carnivore Chili Recipe Slow Cooker

Carnivore Chili Recipe Slow Cooker - Easy Family Meal

When serving a hearty pot of carnivore chili from your slow cooker, it's essential to choose side dishes that enhance the rich, spicy flavors. Soft, fluffy cornbread is an ideal pairing, offering a touch of sweetness that balances the heat of the chili. 
A sprinkle of sharp cheddar cheese on top adds a creamy richness, complementing the chili’s hearty texture. For a cool contrast, creamy avocado slices provide a refreshing touch, while a dollop of tangy sour cream can help temper the spice. 
To add a fresh element, a light, crunchy salad is a great choice, cutting through the richness of the chili and offering a burst of crisp flavor with each bite. These pairings will round out your meal perfectly.

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lb diced beef stew meat
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 lb savory sausage
  • 1/2 cup diced fire-roasted tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup smoky chili seasoning
  • 1/8 cup ground cumin spice
  • 1 tbsp kosher salt
  • 3 tsp roasted garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp powdered onion seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

Method
 

Step 1: Gather and Prep Ingredients
  1. Start by preparing all your ingredients. Dice the beef stew meat. Measure out the spices. Ensure everything is within reach before you start cooking.
Step 2: Brown the Meats
  1. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef and sausage over medium heat until they’re nicely cooked. You want a good sear to lock in flavor. Drain any excess fat.
Step 3: Combine Ingredients in the Slow Cooker
  1. Add the browned meats to your slow cooker. Next, toss in the diced beef stew meat, fire-roasted tomatoes, and all the spices. Combine everything well.
Step 4: Slow Cook
  1. Cover your slow cooker and set it to low. Allow it to cook for about 6 to 8 hours. The longer, the better as the flavors develop. If you’re in a hurry, you can set it to high for 3 to 4 hours.
Step 5: Taste and Adjust Seasoning
  1. Once it’s done, taste your chili. If it needs more kick, sprinkle in some extra cayenne or chili seasoning. You’ve made it this far, so make sure it’s exactly how you like it.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!
  1. Ladle the chili into bowls and top with cheese, avocado, and any other desired toppings. You’re ready to dig in and enjoy!

Notes

  • Layer Your Flavors: Don’t rush the browning step. It adds depth to the chili.
  • Go Low and Slow: If you can, set your slow cooker on low for maximum flavor infusion.
  • Adjust Spice: Feel free to modify the spice levels to suit your taste.
  • Use Quality Meat: Better cuts provide better flavor. It makes a noticeable difference.
  • Make Ahead: This chili reheats beautifully, so consider making a double batch for easy meals later.
