Ingredients

Meat

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 lb ground pork

Vegetables and Broth

  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes (no sugar added)
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Spices

  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Toppings

  • Sour cream
  • Shredded cheese
  • Green onions

Instructions

  1. Brown the Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef and ground pork until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat and transfer the meat to the crockpot.
  2. Add Ingredients to Crockpot: Add the diced tomatoes, beef broth, chopped bell pepper, diced onion, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the crockpot with the meat.
  3. Combine Well: Stir all ingredients thoroughly to ensure the spices and vegetables are evenly distributed throughout the chili mixture.
  4. Slow Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 8 hours to maximize flavor, or on high for 4 hours if short on time.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Serve the chili hot, and garnish with optional toppings such as sour cream, shredded cheese, and sliced green onions to suit your taste.

Notes

  • For a spicier chili, add cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños during cooking.
  • Drain excess fat thoroughly to keep the chili rich but not greasy.
  • Use no-sugar-added diced tomatoes to maintain keto compliance.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
  • Substitute ground turkey for a leaner option if desired.
