I like how adaptable this recipe for Low-Carb Chili is. You can adjust the spice level to suit your preference or make it in a slow cooker for hands-off convenience.

Dress up your Keto Chili and make it your own by topping it with shredded cheese, sour cream, diced avocado, or freshly chopped cilantro.

Serve it with cornbread or corn tortillas if you aren’t following low-carb. Also, see more of Kendyll’s Favorite Easy Low Carb Recipes.

Keto Chili Cooking Tips

  • I use lean ground beef for this recipe but you can use ground turkey or ground chicken.
  • Browning the meat with the onion and garlic brings out the most flavor.
  • Watch carbs in your tomato products. Different brands have different amounts.
  • Let the chili simmer for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld together. The longer it simmers, the better it tastes.
  • After browning the meat you can add all the ingredient to a slow cooker to cook on low for 2 to 3 hours.

Can I make Keto Chili ahead?

Yes, low-carb chili stores well and tastes better the next day. Store your Low-Carb Chili in an airtight container in the refrigerator, or freeze it for longer storage.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Add the ground beef, onion, and bell pepper to a large deep pot and cook over medium heat, breaking up the meat as it cooks. When meat is cooked through, drain fat from pan.
  • Add the jalapeno, garlic, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, beef broth, chili powder, cumin, and salt and stir.
  • Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer for at least 20 minutes, preferably an hour for the best taste and texture.
  • Serve with sour cream and shredded cheddar, as desired.

Notes

Simmer for at least 20 minutes before serving. The longer the chili simmers, the better the flavor will be. I recommend one hour or more for the best taste and texture. Add additional broth if too much cooks off during the simmering process.
