The BEST Keto Chili Recipe. Original recipe adapted with source quantities and workflow.
Follow the cooking flow and check each component at the stated endpoint.
The listed pan and basket capacity, cook times, and thermometer endpoint are for four servings.
Ingredients are scaled; keep food thickness, spacing, settings and safe endpoints fixed. Timings assume the four-serving batch and specified shortcuts. More food can require additional batches.
These recipes include household adaptations and recipes adapted from the linked publishers. The adaptations have not been kitchen-tested. Nutrition provenance and source limitations are listed with each recipe; missing nutrition stays unreported.

Before you start
- Lidded saucepan or Dutch oven
- Mixing bowl
Prepare cold sides first. Keep raw-poultry tools separate; use clean serving utensils. Probe more than one thick piece. A timer is not a doneness test.
Cook
- Brown
Brown ground meat over medium in a saucepan or Dutch oven. Drain excess fat.
- Simmer
Add vegetables, undrained tomatoes, sauce, broth, paste, all spices and salt and pepper. Stir until the paste is fully blended. Simmer uncovered over low for about 25 minutes to reduce and thicken.
Where your attention goes
Stages can overlap. Do not add every row as separate elapsed time. Safe endpoints and actual appliance behavior override the estimate.
Why this works
Nutrition per serving
Calories: 301 kcal; protein: 24.3 g; total carbs: 11.1 g; fiber: 2.6 g; net carbs: 8.5 g
Publisher estimate per original portion; proportional ingredient scaling preserves that portion.
Listed allergens: None in the specified ingredients. Check purchased labels and cross-contact.
First-cook checks
- The original recipe lists 1 teaspoon each of oregano, cumin and garlic powder; these are separate ingredients here.
- Source spicy variation raises original chili powder to 3 tbsp; base is 2 tbsp.
- Ingredient quantities are scaled from 8 original portions to four portions. Fractions of whole items may need weighing or dividing after preparation. Larger batches need extra cooking space or batches; keep thickness and endpoint checks.
- Adapted from Annie Holmes. This adaptation has not been kitchen-tested.
- Safe doneness checks are added to the publisher method; timers alone do not establish doneness.
Leftovers
Refrigerate in shallow containers within two hours, or one hour above 90°F. Use within 3–4 days or freeze; reheat to 165°F. Keep cold greens and yogurt separate.
