You really can make amazing chili without beans! I know, it seems like in order to be chili it has to have pinto or black beans. Nope! With my recipe, you’ll have a scrumptious and high-protein dinner without any beans (and their unwanted side effects).
Healthy Hearty Chili
When it comes to making a low-carb dinner, I need something that is filling. I hate the feeling of being hungry after dinner is over, don’t you?
This recipe is so hearty! The spices will warm you up and the meat and tomatoes will keep you feeling full even after dinner is over.
Plus, it’s a really healthy recipe, too! If you use beef bone broth, you will be getting more nutrition out of your chili. Bone broth helps fight osteoarthritis, reduces inflammation, and supports weight loss.
The Best Beanless Chili
Beans are a common cause of inflammation in people. They are not allowed on Whole30 because they are difficult for our digestive enzymes to break down and extract nutritional value from.
Plus, beans also have phytates – which are anti-nutrients that make healthy minerals like zinc and iron unavailable to our bodies.
This chili is even better for you without the beans. Eat a spoonful of it and you won’t even miss them.
How To Make It In The Slow Cooker
If you don’t have an Instant Pot, get one! Seriously, I love my Instant Pot. It speeds up meal prep and saves me so much time in the kitchen.
This meal can easily be made in your slow cooker too if you want to set it and forget it.
Just brown the ground beef first and drain the grease. Then, add all the ingredients to the slow cooker and set it to low. Cook it on low for 4-6 hours. It will be ready for dinner when you are!
Low-Carb Chili Recipe
Since it doesn’t have beans or sugar, it’s naturally low in carbs. This is the best chili recipe you will ever make – and you won’t even miss the sugar!
It reheats well for meal prep. Make a big batch of it and store it in a sealed container in your refrigerator. It will stay fresh in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Another fantastic thing about this recipe is that it’s made in the Instant Pot. It only takes 35 minutes from start to finish to make enough food for lunches all week long!
How To Customize Keto Instant Pot Chili
There are lots of ways you can change this up and make it taste just like you want it to taste.
Use different meats. Instead of ground beef, use ground chicken, turkey, or even pork sausage.
You can also use a variety of low-carb toppings too. Some of my favorites are:
Shredded Cheese
Sour Cream
Chives
Jalapeños
