Could chili be any more fun? Charcuterie Chili is as fun to eat as it is to serve for a casual gathering. This mouthwatering, mildly-spiced gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free & nut-free beef chili is made with US Wellness Meats 85% lean grass-fed ground beef. Accented with subtle sweet notes from dried apricots, black grapes and a semi-sweet red wine blend, this charcuterie-inspired chili, topped with a dreamy (and dairy-free) provolone cheese sauce, is so texture-rich, colorful, flavorful and FUN!

Gradually whisk in warmed whipping cream; whisk constantly until thickened, about 6 to 8 minutes. remove sauce pan from heat. Whisk in chopped provolone cheese until combined, then whisk in remaining 1/2 Tsp kosher salt.

Delicious served with glasses of chilled semi-sweet red wine (optional). The dairy-free cheese sauce can be omitted to make this a lighter meal. Or you can substitute desired amount of grated dairy-free cheese in place of the cheese sauce.
