Making a pot of chili that I think is paleo or primal

What do you think? I sauteed in olive oil 1 onion, 1 red pepper and 4 garlic cloves. To that I added an 8oz of roughly chopped mushrooms instead of beans. I added chili powder, cumin, coriander, oregano, salt, and pepper. Then I added 93% lean ground beef(I think it was just over 1.5lbs). Once that was all cooked through I added 1 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes and 1 14oz can of diced tomatoes plus some water. I'm going to let this cook for almost 2 hours. Of course I will have to refrain from adding cheese and sour cream. I tasted it and it already tastes yummy.

sounds perfect, I'll be right over. Dammit now I'm hungry.
Some purists would ask you not to use anything from a can (tomato) and use grass fed cow - but it sounds good.
I'm making buffalo meatloaf tonight but chili is tempting.0 -
Yeah I was wondering about the canned tomato but I don't see any other way around that and I am not a purist.0

I'd more just check whether there is anything aside from tomato & tomato juice in the can.... Sounds yummmmmyyy!,0

While fresh tomatoes is optimal, canned is OK. I use Muir Glen organic diced tomatoes, because they are fire-roasted and add an extra flavor note.
While my Gold Rush chili if significantly different (it is Texas-style), your's looks good to go!0 -
Yum - I make a big pot of this and add grated carrot and courgette too. I freeze it in small containers to take to work... yum!
