Yummy Gluten Free Beef Chili

I am currently concocting a gluten free beef chili from scratch and blogging along the way. I started with a little over a pound of ground beef and a medium yellow onion diced. Combined in a large pot to brown:

I love onions and may have gone a little nuts with that. Once the beef is browned, I drained the grease out of the pot and put the onion and beef mixture back into the original pot. Note that the beef doesn't need to be fully cooked cause its going to simmer for a while and will be fully cooked at the end guaranteed!! Browning the meet just draws out the excess fat :) 

Next add garlic. I use this

And since I love garlic, I added this much

Yup. That's a heaping tablespoon!! 

Once that's added to the pot, I added one can of diced tomatoes, half a small can of tomato paste, 3 celery sticks chopped up, a dash of cinnamon, about 15 shakes from the cumin, 20 shakes of the chili powder, 5 shakes of turmeric, a pinch of salt, some pepper, and about half a cup of organic, gluten free no-chicken broth (since its what was in the fridge). Let that simmer about an hour adding more broth if it gets thick. I tasted it after a while and figured it probably needed a little more salt and pepper, and some red chili flakes for a bit of heat, but adjust the taste how you like it!

After about an hour, I added one can of drained kidney beans and one can of drained pinto beans and let that cook for about fifteen more minutes. The pot of chili looked like this:

And then you are ready to eat! I added a couple slices of avocado just because and some hot sauce for extra heat!
