Easy Keto Chili
Description
Easy Keto Chili uses ground sausage and diced stew meat cooked until browned before adding sautéed onions, garlic, carrots, celery, and red bell pepper. This base introduces both savory meatiness and softened vegetables. Seasonings including Hungarian paprika, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper create a layered spicy profile. Canned diced tomatoes and beef broth add moisture and depth. The chili simmers to thicken and harmonize flavors.
The resulting chili has tender meat chunks and softened vegetables enveloped in a spicy, fragrant broth. It can be made in batches using a dutch oven or a pressure cooker Instant Pot, offering flexibility in cooking time and method. This meal provides warming comfort with moderate heat and meaty texture, appropriate for ketogenic meal plans due to its focus on protein and fat rather than carbohydrates.
