Keto Chili Con Carne

Keto Chili Con Carne is wonderfully spicy and meaty with tons of tender chunks of beef. The flavors only get better with time.

With no beans, this Chili Con Carne is wonderfully low in carbs.

The ingredient list is fairly long and that’s why there is so much flavor. For heat, there’s chili powder, cayenne pepper and chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. The chipotle peppers not only add heat, but lots of smokiness too.

Beef broth forms the base for the liquid. There’s no tomatoes in this chili, but the broth turns a rich, dark color from all the spice.

The chili simmers on the stove for 2 hours during which time the beef chunks get fall apart tender. A coconut flour slurry is added in at the end to thicken the chili some.

Keto Chili Con Carne freezes well. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and then microwave to reheat.

How to Serve Keto Chili Con Carne:

• Top it with sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, diced avocado, and chopped fresh cilantro.
• Serve with Keto Cheddar Jalapeno Muffins for even more spice or Low Carb Corn Muffins.
• Leftovers can be turned into a spicy Mexican breakfast scramble or burrito.
