Question about Well Fed Chocolate Chili recipe

Recommended Posts

The recipe calls for a 14.5 oz. can of beef broth.  What brands are Whole30 compliant?  Seems every one I look at has dextrose and/or some other nasty.  I don't have any bone broth and don't anticipate making it any time soon.  Is there another sub that can be made?

I use half ground beef and half diced shin (sold as 'gravy beef' here Australia) and simmer for at least 3 hours. The gravy beef kind of makes its own stock (the sauce goes very jelli-fied when cold). I add home-made stock too, but I bet a little bit of water would be fine.

Be careful. We have that brand here and it has Autolyzed Yeast Extract, aka MSG.  http://www.pacificfoods.com/food/broths-stocks/broths/natural-beef-broth

Thanks for the heads-up. Given that this product was at Whole Foods and I didn't think Whole Foods sold any products with MSG, I found this article: http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/blog/whole-story/myths-and-misconceptions-msg  The article states that Autolyzed Yeast Extract is a "completely natural ingredient that ... contains glutamates but nowhere near the concentration of MSG." 

So, I'm guessing it would still be ok on the Whole30.  It sounds like unless someone is extremely sensitive to glutamates, this product would be fine.
