Keto Chili Recipe

As the days get colder and the nights get longer, nothing beats a soothing bowl of this keto chili recipe. You can serve it over cauliflower rice, but I find it to be lovely all on its own.

Possible Substitutions

Chili is a great dish to experiment with. For the most part, you really can’t go wrong.

If you’re not feeling the beef, or you simply prefer poultry, ground turkey works well as a substitute. Make sure the turkey is thoroughly cooked before serving.

Some like it hot – and if you’re one of them you can definitely crank up the heat. Experiment with adding chili powder or increasing the cayenne pepper to as much as a tablespoon. A dash of hot sauce works well too.

If you really want to step outside of the box (bowl?) try adding a teaspoon of cocoa powder. I got this sweet advice from a chili cook-off champion.

If you’ve got family members who aren’t following a keto diet, they might enjoy some kidney beans – and it’s easy to add them into their bowls without tainting the main batch.

Finally, if you’d like to substitute the suggested cooking method for something a bit lazier, you can also prepare this dish in your slow cooker.

How to Top Your Chili

The recipe calls for chopped parsley for garnish, but you can get creative. Here are some of my favorite chili toppers:

• Sour cream
• Plain Greek yogurt
• Cheddar cheese
• Chopped raw onion
• Avocado
• Sliced jalapeño chiles
• Shredded lettuce

If you’re in need of a traditional chili recipe, this one should do the trick.
