Feel free to change up your choice of ground meat. Go with Heartstone Farm's 100% grass-fed ground beef or opt for our grass-fed ancestral blend ground beef, pasture-raised ground pork, pasture-raised ground turkey (coming soon!) or a blend of your favorites.
Chili freezes well so you can make it ahead and break it out on a night when you don't have time to cook or you have a hungry crowd to feed.
