    I made this for a group and everyone really liked it. They did mention there were no beans, but it was good without. My son was even asking for leftovers, so I know it was a really good recipe! I’ll be making it again this weekend.

    It’s also not possible to sauté the onions, oil, meat in a crockpot. You need to transfer that in order for it to work. I added one 15oz of beans (kidney or cannelloni work). I also used red pepper and carrots because I didn’t have green pepper. You can tweak and because it’s chili, it tastes good!

      Regarding the question about the taste of coconut. If you use refined coconut oil, you will not have a coconut taste at all.
