Why We Love This Recipe

Why is this keto chilli recipe the one for me?

It is quick and easy! Yep, less than 30 minutes in a pot or I can just pop it all into the Thermomix or the Instant Pot and leave all the cooking to them.

It is amazingly versatile. Eat the chili by the bowlful, sandwiched in one of our Mad Creations Soft Wraps or fill a pie with it. So many options.

Not a spicy chilli fan and just want a great keto chili recipe? Just reduce the cayenne pepper and you are good to go.

The Ingredients You Need to Make It

The ingredients used might look like a lot, but they are mostly just cheap pantry ingredients. You probably have everything at home (or almost) to make this keto chilli recipe right now.

Scroll down to the full recipe to find the full recipe and measures of the ingredients used.

Ground beef – try not to use lean ground beef. I use an 80/20 beef to fat ratio of grass-fed organic beef.

Chipotles in adobo – are found in the Mexican food section of most supermarkets. You can also use dried chipotles. You can see them in my photo above. I leave them whole when cooking and mash them in after the chili beef is cooked.

Vegemite – I use Vegemite in a lot of my sauces and keto beef recipes as it adds a delicious saltiness and depth to the sauce. You can substitute Marmite or extra salt, if preferred.

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1. Dry fry the spices until fragrant.

Step 2. Add the oil, onion, garlic and bacon. Fry until the onion has softened.

Step 3. Add the ground beef and fry until the beef has browned.

Step 4. Add the remaining ingredients and cook until rich and thick.

Tips for Success and FAQs

Can I make the keto chilli beef recipe in a Multicooker?

Yes, you can! I have included instructions in the recipe card. When making this keto chili in the Instant Pot (or similar) do not stir through the liquid. Just pour and set to pressure cook. This reduces the chance of a burn warning.

I hate spicy food is this keto chili recipe a hot one?
