In a bowl, mix together 5.5 tablespoons of chili powder, 2.5 teaspoons of salt, ground black pepper, cayenne pepper, 4 teaspoons of cumin, dried oregano, garlic powder, and 1.25 teaspoons of xanthan gum using a whisk.

In a large stock pot over medium-high heat, add about 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.

Add the chopped onions, jalapeno peppers, and garlic to the pot; sauté for about 3 to 5 minutes until the onions and peppers soften.

Add 2 pounds of ground beef to the pot; mix and cook for about 5 minutes until the beef is halfway cooked.

Stir in the spice blend and add 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce; finish cooking until the beef is fully cooked.

Add 1 (28 ounce) can of crushed tomatoes to the pot; mix to incorporate.

Add 3 cups of beef stock; mix until thoroughly combined.

Raise the heat to high and bring the mixture to a small boil.

Once boiling, stir the chili and reduce the heat to medium-low; let cook uncovered for about 1.5 hours to reduce and thicken.

Serve the chili in a bowl; garnish with cheddar cheese, sour cream, and chopped green onions.
