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.

We love grilling up skewers. It's a great way to feed a crowd and looks fantastic served up on a platter with whatever greens and vegetables are in season and a side of hearty rice. It's one of our go-to's for outdoor entertaining. We recommend Heartstone Farm's grass fed and finished Flat Iron Steak for this recipe because it is a great cut to marinate and has nice marbling that delivers on rich flavor.
