It's just not football without a chili simmering on the stove...the smells of the spices and meat flooding the house. My husband loves this one so much he makes it at least twice a month!
Meaty Keto Chili
This is absolutely the best keto chili on the internet.
A few of the techniques I am using here I learned from my obsessive “Americas Test Kitchen” watching. We bloom the spices to bring out the flavor and we brown the ground beef in spices to pull a meatier flavor out.
This recipe does also work in a Crock-Pot; But it tastes way better if you take the time to follow the steps 🙂
