Lamb Chili Recipe – Easy, delicious, DIY chili recipe substituting beef and using lamb. Using lamb instead of beef will give your chili more protein and more omega 3 fatty acids.
Chili is such a versatile recipe. I’ve made it with beef, turkey, chicken, sausage, bison and a combination of a couple different proteins. With my recent Viome Test showing lamb as a superfood for both my daughter and myself, I figured I would try to put together a chili recipe using ground lamb. We’ve really loved our lamb burgers and lamb stew, so I was pretty sure the lamb chili would be a hit, and it was.
I found the ground lamb in the freezer section of Meijer (near the frozen seafoods), but it’s not as easily obtainable as ground beef so you may want to buy a couple packs when it’s available.
