Crockpot Beef (or Sausage!) Chili

Nothing says hearty like a warm bowl of chili! Serve alone or over rice, and top with shredded raw milk cheese, sour cream, & crumbled nitrite-free pastured bacon. Our 100% grass-fed and finished ground beef provides a meaty texture, beefy flavor, and loads of essential nutrients. Or, mix it up and substitute our pastured pork loose sausage for some (or all!) of the ground beef—our meaty ground pork and loose sausage have the heartiness and texture of ground beef, which makes for a seamless & tasty blend or substitution. Mix and match plain ground pork or our garlic, merguez or chorizo loose pork sausage flavors to put your own twist on a classic meal. Gather the gang, and enjoy!
