My Brother's Awesome Paleo Crock Pot Chili

My big brother follows the Paleo lifestyle, and I helped him make this chili one snowy night in Colorado. It is SO good, full of flavor, and filling! This recipe fills an oval, 7 quart crock pot pretty full, but it can easily be halved. To make it completely Paleo, omit the kidney beans.
