Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 1 hour 30 minutes
Total: 1 hour 40 minutes
Yield:6 people

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 2 white onions , diced
  • 4-6 cloves garlic , minced
  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • ¼ teaspoon allspice
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons chipotle chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • a few dashes of ground cinnamon
  • 1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
  • 2 (14-ounce) cans fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  • 1 (14-ounce) can beef broth
  • 1 cup water (or more beef broth or dark beer, if you're not on Whole30)
  • 1 medium sweet potato , peeled and diced into bite-sized cubes

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high. When the oil is hot and melted, add the onions and cook, stirring often, until they're soft and translucent, about 7-10 minutes. Add the garlic and stir constantly until it's fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the ground beef into the pan, stirring with your spoon to break up. Cook until brown and evenly crumbled.
  • In a small bowl, combine the allspice, oregano, chili powder, chipotle chili powder, cumin, cocoa powder, and salt. Whisk with a fork to combine, then add to the pot. Add in a few dashes of cinnamon then add the tomato paste, stirring until well-combined.
  • Add the cans of diced tomatoes, beef broth, water, and sweet potato, then stir well. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Simmer uncovered for at least an hour, and don't skip this step! It's important to the dish. When ready to serve, ladle into bowls and garnish to your heart's content.

Notes

To serve: sliced green onions.
