How can you make chili low carb?
The easiest way to make it low carb is to not add any beans to the recipe. This way you can have all of the meat and flavour without the extra carbs from the beans. Plus you don’t want to be know as being “full of beans”. I don’t know where that saying comes from but I’ve heard it a few times.
What is the best low carb bean for chili? What if I just can’t have chili without beans?
From what I know the lowest carb bean is the black soy bean. It’s about 1g net carb per half a cup. You can get your beans into this chili but it won’t be the same as red kidney beans. The brand Eden Organic sells the black soy beans.
What is the best way to thicken the chili?
The best way without adding anything to your chili would be to cook it uncovered. Take the lid off and simmer for 20-30 minutes to help reduce some of the liquid. As this recipe is made in an instant pot, taking the lid off is not an option. You can remove the lid after the cooking time and simmer for 20 minutes.
How do you make low carb chili?
This low carb chili made in the instant pot (IP) is a quick and easy method. Saute the onions and peppers in the IP until translucent and add the ground beef and cook until browned. Remove any excess liquid, add remaining ingredients, pop the lid on, set the IP to chili for 20 minutes. Don’t forget to set the IP to steaming. Done! Simple, easy and best of all, so flavourful. This will be your go to recipe moving forward.

How do you store chili?
Best way is to store in thick, durable freezer bags. This will help with portion control and you can pull them out of the freezer anytime. Use them for chili dogs or as a sauce for your taco nights. Can be stored for 2-3 months.
What if I don’t have an instant pot?
No sweat. Make it on the stove and cook on low heat for about 3 hours after browning the beef. If you have a crock pot you can set it on low and simmer it for 3-5 hours.
