My Paleo Cowboy Chili is the perfect one pot meal for chilly Fall days and so much more!
Last night I posted a photo of a recipe I’ve been working on for Creamy Enchilada Soup, which turned out to be more delicious than I could have imagined. And when I posted my photo, I apparently got people really excited. And then I started feeling bad that I can’t share the recipe yet. Wah wah. So this recipe, for my Paleo Cowboy Chili, from Paleo Cooking with Your Instant Pot, which until now has remained in the book only.
But for all intents and purposes, we’ll just call it a consolation prize for my teaser last night. It’s one of my most popular recipes in the book and it really is my go-to chili recipe during the cooler months. So while I still can’t share my enchilada soup recipe, please accept this as a token of meaty love while you await what’s up ahead. After all, I just want to be able to sleep at night and I surely can’t without your love and forgiveness. Mkay?!

Notes
What can be substituted for the tomatoes? Or just omit?
Hmm, I’m not sure honestly. You might want to try an AIP Chili recipe if you are trying to avoid tomatoes?
This chili looks so hearty and delicious! Love that you added sausage. I’ve never done that and will have to try!
Thanks enjoy it Chelsea!
This looks delicious! I just heard you on the Fed and Fit podcast and had to come take a look! I’m so excited to try this, but I don’t have an Instant Pot yet. I’m assuming I can just cook in in my slow cooker all day?! I’m excited to give it a try!
You could definitely use a slow cooker!!!
Where may I find nutritional information about this and your other recipes, please?
Sorry I don’t post nutritional information since I cook with clean ingredients.
Made this tonight for my family and it was a big hit! Even with the 4 kiddos. So easy and perfect for a cold evening.
