• 2 tablespoons coconut oil ^[1]
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 large onion, diced
• 1 pound ground beef ^[2]or bison ^[3]
• 1 ½ cups chicken broth
• 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies

Sauté the onion, garlic and beef/bison in the coconut oil over medium heat, until browned. Combine the meat mixture with the rest of the ingredients in the slow cooker.

Cover and cook on LOW for 4 hours, or until the potatoes are soft. Add salt/pepper and garnishes to each bowl.
