Chili with no beans

1/2 Onion, diced
3lbs Organic, Grass-fed ground beef
2T coconut oil
8oz mushrooms, sliced
4 zucchini, cubed
4 large carrots, cut up
2 - 15 oz cans diced tomatoes, organic
1 - 15 oz can no sugar added tomato sauce, organic (I found Muir Glen or Cadia brands)
1 can fire-roasted diced green chiles
2 tsp minced garlic
2-3 T Paprika
1.5 T Oregano
1.5 T Basil
1.5 T Cumin
1 T Cocoa Powder, unsweetened
1 cup strong coffee (I used decaf)
Chicken or Beef Broth

Heat large Dutch oven and add coconut oil. Sauté onions until translucent. Add ground beef & cook until no pink shows. Add mushrooms & carrots. Cook for 5-10 minutes (you can steam carrots so they will cook faster). Add seasonings, garlic & chiles. Stir well. Add all tomatoes, zucchini & coffee. Stir well again. Add broth to desired consistency. Cook until veggies are as soft as you like. Freezes well!

Use organic whenever possible!
