Paleo friendly Buffalo Chili

1 lb grassfed ground buffalo
1 of each red, yellow, green pepper
2 jalapeno peppers
1/2 red onion
1 package baby bella mushrooms
1 large can diced tomatoes
1 can hot rotel with peppers
1 small can tomato paste
Mrs Dash Chipotle seasoning
sea salt
fresh black pepper

Season the buffalo meat with Mrs Dash chipotle seasoning and sea salt. If you haven't used this yet you're missing out! Brown the buffalo on medium heat in a large pot. The meat should be pretty lean so you wont need to drain it. Chop the veggies into large pieces. This is the key to making this chili work. Since this chili is beanless, the way to make the chili hearty is having chunky veggies. Once the meat is browned dump the canned tomato ingredients and veggies in. If you like the mushrooms more firm leave them out until the other veggies have cooked down some. Add more seasoning to taste and simmer for about 30 minutes or until the veggies reach your desired consistency.

RH made me some buffalo chili a while back and this is my stab in the dark at recreating it. A note on the heat of this... it's pretty hot. If you like less heat remove the seeds of the jalapenos and maybe use just one. Also you can sub the hot rotel for mild or even just more diced tomatoes. I love chili because it makes great leftovers and it's foolproof. It's also awesome for people who don't have a lot of time. You can pre chop your veggies and refrigerate until you're ready to cook to save time. If you really don't have time you can brown the meat and then throw it all into a slow cooker before you leave for work. If you really really dont have time maybe if you had cool friends they would make it for you. This will feed you for a week, get to work.
