With a title like that, you’re probably thinking… man, she sure is full of herself! Well, yes. Yes I am, at least when it comes to this recipe! This is by far the best chili I’ve ever made or eaten, AND it’s Paleo friendly?!? It’s perfect!!What’s so unique about this recipe is a few out-of-the-ordinary ingredients like COFFEE and PUMPKIN PIE SPICE! They totally jazz it up! It’s incredible!
The recipe below has been carefully constructed and perfected, but feel free to play with it too! We like our chili with a kick, so that’s what this provides. If you don’t like things so spicy, cut back on the cumin and chili powder just a bit. It’ll still be super tasty!
