Shell the boiled peanuts, taking about 10 minutes, and soak them in water to draw out extra salt.

In a saute pan, add bacon fat (or olive oil/avocado oil) and finely diced onion (about 1/4 of an onion).

Add 1 pound of ground beef to the pan and cook until no longer pink.

While the beef is cooking, add 1 tablespoon of finely diced jalapeno (optional for spice).

In a bowl, mix together cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, paprika, chili powder, oregano, dried cilantro, and 1/4 teaspoon of xanthan gum.

Add the mixed seasonings to the cooked ground beef and stir to combine.

If desired, drain excess fat from the beef, but you can leave it in if you added seasonings after cooking.

Add beef broth and 1 can of fire roasted tomatoes (blended until smooth if preferred).

Add 1 can of Rotel tomatoes with chilies and stir to combine.

Drain the soaked peanuts and add them to the chili mixture, stirring to combine.

Let the chili simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the peanuts to release any additional salt.

Taste the chili and add about 1/2 teaspoon of salt if needed, then let it simmer for another 10 minutes.

Prepare hearts of palm (brown rice alternative) in the microwave with a few tablespoons of butter.

Once the chili is done simmering, scoop some hearts of palm into a bowl, top with chili, and garnish with cheese, green onions, and sour cream.
