Best Keto Chili 🌶️ gluten free & paleo How to prepare

One of the top searched Recipe last year is Keto Chili Gluten. Very tasty and Nutritious food specially who want nice figure and also want to taste meat. 
There are numerous (endless?!) ways to tackle chili, starting with the meat. Be it chicken or beef, ground or Texas-style chunks. Hey, you can even make it vegan with just veggies! And, of course, the spices used (and amounts) vary widely to taste.

Real chili purists will advocate for a chili with little tomato and no beans. As in… naturally keto!

And this recipe is a mix of just that. A traditional chili recipe sans beans, mixed with a friend’s sweet grandma’s recipe (a real crowd pleaser). The story goes that no one has ever left the table without going for seconds on this one… and I can definitely attest to that!

Ingredients

    3 cloves garlic ran through a press
    1 large onion finely chopped
    500 g ground beef
    2 cloves
    1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder *
    1-2 teaspoons ground cumin to taste
    1-2 teaspoons paprika to taste
    1 teaspoon ground oregano
    1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder optional, to taste
    1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional, to taste
    1 400 g can diced tomatoes
    240 ml beef broth
    120 ml (gluten free or low carb) beer optional**
    60 ml strong brewed coffee optional**
    kosher salt to taste


Instructions

    Heat up olive oil in a dutch oven or large pot over medium/high heat. Add garlic and onion, and cook until it just begins to brown (about 8 minutes).

    Lower heat to medium, add ground beef, cloves and a large pinch of salt. Cook until it begins to brown, stirring every so often (5 to 7 minutes). Add in all the spices and cook for a couple more minutes until fragrant. Some peeps enjoy their chili spicier, others strong on cumin, etc... so feel free to adjust the spices slowly as the chili cooks (the fun part!).

    Add tomatoes and continue to cook over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Lower the heat to low and continue to cook for 15 minutes, stirring every so often.

    Add in the beef broth, beer (optional) and coffee (optional). Continue to cook for 3 to 8 hours. Adding 1/4 cup water (or broth) at a time, as needed. Remember that the longer you cook it, the more flavor it gets!
    Allow your chili to rest for 10 minutes prior to serving with your favorite toppings.

Recipe Notes

*Chili spices can vary a lot in taste (and preference!). Buying a ready-made chili powder mix is a good place to start. But do feel free to play around with the individual spices to your liking (think chili, oregano, cumin, coriander, paprika, chipotle... you could even add some chili ancho!).

**Adding in some (gluten free, low carb) beer and coffee add a bunch of flavor. But totally optional, and your chili will still be magnificent without them!
