1.5 pound lean ground grassfed beef1 large onion, chopped1 large green bell pepper, chopped5 cloves garlic, minced1/4 cup chili powder1 tbsp chipotle chili powder, or to taste (this has some heat!)1 tbsp ground cumin ( or to taste)Optional: 1 large carrot, peeled and grated1 large eggplant, peeled and cut into 1.5/inch cubes2 28-oz canns no sodium diced tomatoesFresh cilantro or sliced avocado for garnish
1) Heat a deep pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add beef and begin to brown - 3-5 minutes.
2) When some of the fat has rendered, add onions, bell pepper, garlic, eggplant, carrot (if using), chili powder, chipotle chili and ground cumin and stir together until meat is fully cooked and eggplant begins to turn translucent. If the mixture appears dry, add a tbsp or two of olive oil or water.
3) Add the canned tomatoes with their juices and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer at least 10 minutes to allow eggplant to fully cook or up to an hour.
4) Serve topped with cilantro and avocado slices.
*We've found that the eggplant dissolves in the crockpot but that might not be the case for everyone.
