Smoky Peanut Butter Chili
This is a special kind of chili without any beans! The peanuts and peanut butter make this dish hearty and full of crunchy texture.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon peanut oil or canola oil
- 2-1/2 pounds lean ground beef (90% lean)
- 1 large green pepper, chopped
- 1 large red onion, chopped
- 1 large carrot, peeled and chopped

- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; add beef and cook in batches until no longer pink, 7-10 minutes, breaking it into crumbles. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain. Add green pepper, onion and carrot; cook and stir until slightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Transfer meat, vegetables and drippings to a 5- or 6-qt. slow cooker.
