Keto Chili
Description
The recipe uses a blend of ground beef, Italian sausage, and andouille sausage for layered meat flavors, from mild to spicy depending on the choice of andouille or smoked sausage. Sauteeing the meats with diced onion until browned builds a savory base. Adding beef broth, canned tomatoes, Rotel chilies, and spices creates a robust liquid for simmering.
The chili comes together quickly with a brief simmer of about 15 minutes, enough to marry the flavors but preserving the distinct texture of the meats. It can be customized with toppings like cheese, sour cream, chives, bacon, and boiled eggs to add richness, creaminess, and textural contrast.
This chili suits low-carb or keto eating by emphasizing meats and skipping beans. It makes a filling main dish for cold days or casual meals. Leftovers keep well in airtight containers for convenience.
The note suggests that andouille sausage is quite spicy, and a milder smoked sausage like kielbasa may be used to reduce heat, offering flexibility in flavor intensity.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 (14 ounce) package andouille sausage (or smoked sausage for less spicy version -see note)
- 1 lb Italian sausage
- 1 cup yellow onion diced
- 2 cups beef broth low-sodium
- 1 (14 ounce) can Italian diced tomatoes
- 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes Rotel brand

- 3 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons cumin ground
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- optional toppings
- cheese
- sour cream
- chives
- Bacon
- egg boiled
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef, Italian sausage and onions together until no longer pink. Add to a large pot with all of the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.
- While that begins to boil, chop the andouille sausage and sauté in the pan you just used to brown the beef and sausage, add to pot. Reduce the temperature to low and simmer for 15 min. Top with your favorite toppings. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
Notes
- Substitute andouille sausage with smoked sausage like kielbasa for a milder chili.
- Store leftovers in airtight containers to maintain freshness.
- Top the chili with cheese, sour cream, chives, bacon, or boiled egg for added flavor and texture.
