Linda’s Keto Chili
You can easily add chili beans, or even corn to make this a regular chili recipe. Freezes well!
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Large chopped onion
- 1 Large chopped green bell pepper
- 2-4 Cloves garlic (depending on how much you like)
- 1 Lb ground beef
- 1 Lb ground pork
- 1 Can 28 ounces chopped tomatoes
- 1 Small can green chilis
- 1 Large bunch of cilantro, separated
- 1 1/2 Cups beef stock
- salt & pepper to taste
- 2 Tbsp chili powder (more or less depending on your taste)
- 1 Tsp cumin (more or less depending on your taste)
- 1 Tsp cayenne (more or less depending on your taste)
Instructions
- Heat oil in a non-stick pan or skillet and place over medium heat. Once hot, add the onion, peppers, and garlic, and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Increase the heat to high and add the ground beef & ground pork and break apart. Let it cook until mostly browned.
- Add the remaining ingredients, including the spices, half of the cilantro, and reduce to low. Cover the pan and let it simmer for 1 ½- 2 hours, until thick. (You may need to uncover for the last 15 -20 min to thicken)
- Smash down well with potato masher to meld and blend in all ingredients.
- Add the rest of the cilantro (and beans if you’re not keto) and simmer 10 more minutes.
- Ladle the chili into bowls and add shredded cheese, chopped green onion, and sour cream, if desired. Goes very well with corn bread if you’re not keto.
