Ingredients

2 lbs ground beef 907g
1 large onion, diced about 200g
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, diced about 120g
1 green bell pepper, diced about 120g
1 can diced tomatoes 14.5 oz or 411g
2 tbsp tomato paste 30g
1 cup beef broth 240ml
2 tbsp chili powder 16g
1 tbsp cumin 7g
1 tsp paprika 2g
1 tsp dried oregano 1g
½ tsp cayenne pepper optional for heat, 1g
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tbsp olive oil 15ml

Instructions

Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the olive oil followed by the diced onions and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions become translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the pot. Cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until the beef is browned and no longer pink, approximately 6-8 minutes.
Stir in the diced red and green bell peppers and cook for an additional 3 minutes, until they start to soften.
Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, dried oregano, and cayenne pepper to the beef mixture. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Pour in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and beef broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and let the chili simmer, uncovered, for about 45 minutes to an hour, stirring occasionally. The chili should thicken and the flavors will become more concentrated.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. For a spicier chili, add an additional 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper or to your preference.
Once the chili has thickened to your liking, remove from heat and serve hot.

Notes

For a thicker chili, allow it to simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until it reaches your desired consistency.

This keto chili can be topped with shredded cheese, sour cream, or sliced green onions for added flavor and fat content.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.

To reheat, simply warm on the stove over medium heat or in the microwave until heated through.
