Ingredients
- 2-3 slices nitrite-free uncooked bacon, chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 lbs. ground meat (I used 1/2 bison, 1/2 ground turkey)
- 2 tbs. chili powder
- 1 tsp. dried oregano
- 1 tsp. paprika
- 1 1/2 – 2 cups organic chicken or beef broth (or water)
- 1 14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes (with juice)
- 1 T unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 T apple cider vinegar
- 1-2 peeled carrots cut into half inch dice or smaller (optional)
- salt & pepper, to taste
Preparation
Step 1
In a large sauce pan or dutch oven over medium-low heat cook bacon a
few minutes until slightly brown and some fat is rendered out.
Add chopped onion to the pan and stir into bacon. When the onions are
semi-translucent add garlic and stir. Cook a few minutes longer. Add
ground meat to pan and cook over medium low heat until brown.
Add spices, water or broth, tomatoes, and carrots and stir well to
combine. Cover and simmer over low heat for 1 hour, stirring every 20
minutes or so to prevent sticking.
Add vinegar and cocoa powder and stir well, adding additional water
if necessary, then simmer uncovered another 20 minutes. Season to taste
with salt and pepper.
Combine all ingredients with a stand mixer until no lumps remain. Pour into greased muffin cups or loaf pan and cook
in a 320 degree oven for 15 minutes.
Do you think you could add some whole kernel corn to the muffins for more of a corn taste? THanks!
I think it would work great, but I'd probably suggest preparing the recipe on the stove top up until the simmering point.
