Typically I like equal parts of beans and meat in my chili but I have a few family members doing the keto diet so I needed to make a chili that was low carb – which means cutting the legumes. We didn’t want to completely omit the beans so I doubled all the ingredients listed below and added only one can of beans. Which made everyone happy.
One of the best parts about this chili is eating it with this garlic cheese keto biscuits from The Girl Who Ate Everything. When I say these things are really good, I mean it. And I’m not saying they are “good for a keto biscuit” they are good for anyone who eats! LOL! Seriously, I haven’t met anyone who hasn’t liked them.
