Low Carb Chili Recipe
I can’t believe I haven’t shared this low carb chili recipe with you yet! It was totallyaccidental,so I hope you can find it in your chili-loving heart to forgive me. I’ve been making this low carbchili recipe and a few variations of it since I first started low carb.
Chili was always one of my favorite dishes so I had to find a way to incorporate into my low carb life. After messing with a few recipes I had I finally was able to get the perfect low carb to flavorful ratio.

Flavorful Low Carb Chili
When I first started testing chili recipes I was doubtful I’d be able to keep the same tasty flavors I knew and loved. But boy did it turn out to be rich and delicious. It blew my mind!

This literally has the same flavor of my beloved chili, but totally low carb and high protein. Thanks!!

When it comes down to it, the main punch comes from the seasoning that it’s name derives from – chili powder. When added to the ground beef, onions, tomatoes, bell pepper, and celery, your in chili heaven.
How to Make Keto Chili in 3 Easy Steps
- Brown the meat in a fry pan
. - Throw in the veggies to let it all sizzle.
- Move it over to a large pot to finish things up.
I’d totally consider putting this together in a slow cooker. But I’d mix everything in the pan first then incorporate it into the Slow Cookers
instead of a large pot.
I bet it would bring all the flavors together really nicely!

Hi Andres!
Love your recipes, thank you :-)) I don’t know if you need any suggestions or requests, but I do have a couple I’d love to see.
I like the low carb caramel sauce, so perhaps a LC chocolate sauce?
And of course, everyone loves brownies! Perhaps the ultimate brownie?In any case, keep up the great work, love your blog!

What brand of tomato paste did you use/recommend? I was wondering if there is a better low carb tomato paste than the one I used.

Wow! Thanks so much for cutting through the chase on this for us. I too have tried to find a low carb chili that tastes as good as the carb version with no luck. I’ve followed your recipe exactly and am just dying to try it! Got another hour or so to cook but I had to taste and it’s wonderful already! Keep up the good work!Reply

This was awesome!! I used one large tomato and a can of diced tomatoes – believe the carbs balance out. Could you more chili powder or a jalapeño you kick it up a notch. Added sour cream and shredded cheese. This recipe is a keeper!!

Is the recipe 1 1/2 cups of tomatoes? or 1 and 1/2 tomatoes? My daughter has PCOS and is on the KETO diet and just sent this recipe to me to make for supper. Thanks

I have a question, what is considered a serving size for this recipe?Reply

YUM! I made this with 2 Lbs ground turkey and increased the spices to 2 tsp each. It’s so very good!Reply
- Keshia says
I followed this recipe, but with a few variations. I used ground turkey instead of ground beef and I only used 6oz of tomato paste instead of 8oz. I’m not sure if using the ground turkey is keto friendly or not, but I don’t eat much red meat. Today was my first time cooking chili, and it turned out great! Thanks for sharing this recipe!Reply
- Kim says

Great chili. I’ve made it many times. I’m not a fan of chunky tomatoes/seeds so I use a can of tomato sauce or tomato puree instead. I also add more water.Reply
