Delicious, homemade, warming, keto chilli. Made from beef mince this is full of the flavours of Mexico, and a real treat for all of the family! Skip the beans and you have a low carb meal that can be made in advance. Like you keto chilli a little hotter? No worries!

I’m a real fan of chilli! ?️

I always have been, even pre-keto and this keto-friendly version is no different. It is full of all the same homely flavours, minus the carbs.

The only thing that is missing from a ‘traditional’ chilli is that it does not have kidney beans. A 100g portion of kidney beans has 60 grams of carbs. This will soon take you over your daily macros. Meaning that they are not an option if you are living a keto / low-carb lifestyle. Thankfully, chilli is easy to make, just skip the beans and it is keto-friendly!

Spicing up your keto chilli.

Keto Beef Chilli in a pan

I personally like my chilli like I like the weather – hot!

Then again, I do live in the north of England so what is mild for some, will be hot for me!!

If you’re like me and like your keto chilli on the hotter side – try adding a little more chilli powder, or supplement with a little cayenne pepper for that extra kick.

Play around with the flavours so you can make it perfect for you.

Can I cook this Keto Chilli in the pressure cooker or slow cooker?

Although this recipe was originally cooked on the hob, this can be cooked in the pressure cooker or in the slow cooker. It tastes amazing either way, and one is not better than the other. If I’m planning ahead, I will normally use my slow cooker.

If I get in from work late and need something to cook whilst I jump in the shower, I’ll use the pressure cooker!

Cooking keto chilli in the slow cooker

If I know I’m going to have a busy day I will often throw this together in the slow cooker.

I’ll leave the chilli in the slow cooker all day – there is nothing better than coming home to the smell of homecooked food!

To make this chilli in the slow cooker –brown your onions and mince off before adding them to the slow cooker – this can be done the night before and left in the fridge.

When you’re ready just add all of the ingredients into the slow cooker and put it on low for 8 hours. If you’re going to out for longer than 8 hours you can always leave your slow cooker plugged into a timer – this has been a game-changer for me.

Cooking keto chilli in the pressure cooker

If you’re running short on time and need to throw together your chilli in a hurry, you can always throw it in the pressure cooker. All of the flavours come together just the same!

Freezing your Keto Chilli.

I always make too much of this keto chilli and then I freeze a couple of portions. That way I can take it to work when I need it, or if I get in from work late a can pop a portion into the microwave and it’s ready for me to eat in no time!

If you are going to be transporting this to work – make sure that you are using an airtight container so it doesn’t leak all over your back (yes, I am speaking from experience!). There is nothing more embarrassing than pulling out your work planner to find it covered in chilli!

I’ve bought plenty of cheap containers over the years, each time thinking the next set would be better than the last; they all leaked!

It was only when my darling mother bought me some Lock & Lock containers that I stopped ‘trying’ other containers! You can literally fill them with liquids and hold it upside down over your head with no risk of leakage!!

Keto Chilli serving suggestions?

Normally chilli would be served with rice or in a burrito style wrap.

Why not team this with some fluffy cauliflower rice or packing it in an almond flour wrap with some salad? 

Of have it on its own with some guacamole, salsa and grated cheese…..a personal favourite of mine!
