You need 1 ingredient. The key ingredients include: ["1.5 lbs of a healthy type of ground meat (I like to use ground grass-fed buffalo, ostrich, venison, or grass-fed beef as the preferred healthiest meat choices... as a last resort, lean ground turkey or chicken can work also -- but just try to NEVER use factory-farm raised meat)", "1 large red pepper diced", "5-6 jalapeno peppers diced (adjust based on your desired ""hotness"")", "2 large onions diced", "2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil", "1 large can crushed tomatoes or 5-6 large fresh tomatoes diced", "1 can of kidney beans or black beans (good source of antioxidants and fiber)", "half a bag of frozen chopped spinach (adds extra nutrient density... add in towards the end of cooking)", "2 tbsp molasses (this is a good source of antioxidants, adds great flavor, and only adds minimal sugar)", "2-3 squares of extra dark chocolate (sounds weird, but trust me...this adds just a touch of great extra flavor, and a little bit of extra antioxidants)", "1 or 2 tbsp of chili powder", "1 or 2 tsp of cumin", "1 or 2 tbsp of crushed garlic", "if you like your chili extra HOT, add some cayenne pepper to the mix also (this is also a metabolism booster!)", "a small touch of celtic sea salt (I don't measure... I just use a couple small pinches)", "1/2 cup oat bran (adds fiber and also helps soak up some of the extra moisture)", "I also like to add some fresh chopped cilantro while it's cooking", "Some avocado (for use as a topping after chili is cooked and served)", "some grass-fed raw cheese if you can find it (topping after cooked)"].
