Variation Ideas

Chili is one of those meals that you can change it for your preference.

• Tomatoes – Omit one can of tomatoes to lower the carbs. You can even add in a small can of tomato paste for a thicker texture.
• Green Chilies – Stir in a can of green chilies to a bit of spice
• Cream Cheese – Try adding in a little bit of cream cheese before serving.
• Sour Cream – Stir in ½ cup sour cream before the chili is completely done.
• Meat – Try substituting ground turkey for the ground beef. You can also do 1 pound ground beef and 1 pound ground turkey. It’s a great way to save money. You can even use cooked chuck roast for a delicious variation.
• Seasoning – We used Homemade Chili Seasoning for this recipe, but feel free to add in seasoning separately. We suggest, oregano, chili powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and ground cumin.

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1 – In a large stock pot, brown your ground beef or ground turkey, on the stove top over medium-high heat. We normally do 1 pound of ground beef and one pound of ground turkey. I save money and no one can taste the difference. Drain meat after cooking to remove the grease.

Step 2 – Prepare vegetables by chopping in bite size pieces on a cutting board with a knife.

Step 3 – Add in the ½ onion and the red bell pepper and continue cooking over medium heat until they are soft.

Step 4 – Stir in the chili seasoning, crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, garlic salt, and beef broth. Bring to a boil. Then turn to medium-low heat, add the lid and let simmer. Be sure to stir occasionally.

• Step 5 – Simmer for 30 minutes up to an hour to let all the flavors combine.
• Step 6 – Serve with shredded cheese, sour cream, diced onions and even jalapenos in a bowl.

Expert Tips

• Chopping Vegetables – I use a small food chopper or processor to quickly and easily chop onions and green peppers. If you do not have one of these, I highly recommend them. They are such a time saver.
• Prepare Vegetables Ahead of Time – I usually just chop the entire vegetable and freeze what I don’t need. It’s so nice to be able to just take diced onion or bell peppers out of the freezer for recipes.
• Cooking Keto-Friendly Chili – As you are cooking the chili, make sure to continue to stir while cooking.
• Chili Consistency – If you want to thicken the chili consistency, check out How to Thicken Chili for all the tips.

How to Make in the Slow Cooker

Occasionally I will use my crock pot to make this recipe. I just ground the beef first and put everything in the crock pot. I love meal prepping my meals and freeze them so all I have to do on the day of cooking is put in the crock pot.

Then you just cook on low for 4 hours or high for 2 hours. It’s so easy and a great way to have this meal ready and waiting after work.

How to Make in the Instant Pot

I also like making this low carb chili in the instant pot. Everything can be done rith in the instant pot.

• Just brown the beef in the instant pot using the saute setting.
• Add all the ingredients and place lid on and set to sealing.
• Next, set pressure for 5 minutes. Do a quick release and enjoy.

Using the instant pot has been a game change for my family. It is perfect to use when I forget to set something out.

Chili Topping Ideas

You can still have some amazing toppings even if you are following a low carb diet. Here are some of my favorites:

• Shredded cheese – Make sure you shred your own. The bag shredded cheese contains added ingredients.
• Chopped Green Onions
• Slice Avocado – I love avocado and really love it on chili.
• Jalapeño Slices – I always add a few on my chili. I like the extra spice it gives.
• Sour Cream
• Guacamole
• Corn Chips – Not Low Carb
• Tortilla Chips
• Keto Cornbread
