Hearty Low-Carb No-Bean Chili Recipe
This low-carb no-bean chili is a staple in our home. It’s rich, hearty, and completely keto-friendly. The best part? It’s packed with flavor while using wholesome, real ingredients.
Why We Follow a Low-Carb Lifestyle
If you’re new here, welcome! My husband and I follow a low-carb, keto-friendly lifestyle. It’s not just a diet—it’s a way of life. After experiencing health challenges during pregnancy, I realized that my body thrives on low-carb, whole-food meals with little to no processed ingredients.
A few months before my last pregnancy, I told my husband, Jarred, that I wanted to return to a keto-based way of eating. My goal was to prepare my body for pregnancy, stay healthy, and manage my risk of gestational diabetes. I had followed keto before, but this time, I fully embraced it as a lifestyle. Now, we rarely eat more than 40g of carbs per day, though our kids do enjoy a bit more flexibility.
A Family-Favorite Keto Chili
This low-carb no-bean chili is one of our go-to meals. We make it at least once a week—sometimes even more! It’s filling, comforting, and packed with nutritious, real-food ingredients. Plus, it’s easy to customize based on what you have on hand.
This low-carb no-bean chili is packed with bold flavors, hearty protein, and wholesome ingredients like ground beef, pork chorizo, fresh bell peppers, onions, and garlic, all simmered in a rich tomato base with your favorite chili seasoning. It’s the perfect comforting meal for a keto-friendly, whole-food lifestyle.
Stay tuned as we share more about our healthy eating journey and the benefits of a low-carb lifestyle. But for now, let’s get cooking!

Steps
1

2
Heat a large pot with oil on medium to high heat, once heated add your minced garlic and let it cook for about 1-2 minutes into the oil stirring a few times to make sure it doesn’t burn.
3
Add your peppers and onions and stir well to coat with the oil and garlic, cover and cook for 3-minute increments until they are tender to your liking.
4
Add in your ground beef and chorizo breaking up the meat and mixing well with the peppers. Cover and cook in 3-minute increments until the meat is fully cooked.
5
Add in your seasonings and your tomato paste and stir it well until fully combined.

Cover and reduce the heat to a simmer and set timer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. This helps the flavors to really meld together.
