Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Spoon or spatula
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ground pork 907 grams
  • 1 large onion, diced about 1 cup / 150 grams
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced about 1 cup / 150 grams
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1 can diced tomatoes, undrained 14.5 ounces / 411 grams
  • 1 can tomato paste 6 ounces / 170 grams
  • 2 cups beef broth 480 ml
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper adjust to taste
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped for garnish
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground pork and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Once done, transfer the pork to a plate and set aside.
  • In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic, diced red bell pepper, and chopped jalapeño, and cook for another 2 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
  • Return the browned pork to the pot with the vegetables. Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and beef broth. Mix well.
  • Season the mixture with chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are combined.
  • Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer, uncovered, for about 45 minutes to an hour, stirring occasionally. The chili should thicken and flavors will meld together.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If the chili is too thick, add more beef broth to reach your desired consistency.
  • Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped cilantro and shredded cheddar cheese if desired.

Notes

For a milder chili, remove the seeds from the jalapeño or omit it entirely.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
This chili can be served over cauliflower rice or alongside a green salad for a complete keto-friendly meal.
