Why Low Carb?
If you have been following along with our recipes lately, you might have noticed that we’ve published some recipes tagged as “Keto”. While we are not totally following a Ketogenic diet ourselves, we recognize that the number of people following the diet has grown significantly and there is some overlap with Paleo, Whole30 and Keto recipes (sometimes). If you are looking for some more information on the Ketogenic diet, here are a few links:

Personally (Justin here), I’ve found that a lower carb/higher fat diet seems to be one of the best ways to eat for me. I feel good, have sustainable energy, have less snack cravings and less bloating eating this kind of diet. While I personally don’t count carbs and macros, eating a mostly Paleo diet with a focus on lower carb intake and higher fat intake seems to be a good general template to follow for my body.

Back To This Keto Chili
I can’t actually take full credit for this recipe. It’s loosely based on a recipe my Mom made a while back when I was visiting. Although her version had beans, it had this smoky flavor and was packed with meaty goodness. I just had to try and make a similar version. Using some basic seasonings and getting an extra smoky kick from liquid smoke, this keto chili uses ground beef, stew meat and some onion and bell pepper. Keep it simple folks!
Quick + Easy
Although the flavor is a little different than Mom’s version, I’m pretty happy with how this keto chili recipe turned out. It’s super easy to make because you just throw everything in the slow cooker or Instant pot and let it do its thing. Then, just layer on your favorite toppings and you are set to dig-in! We added some diced onion, tomato, avocado and plain coconut yogurt. If you eat dairy, feel free to add on some cheese and/or sour cream.
