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.
