Easy Keto Chilli Con Carne

Enjoy a quick and flavorful chilli con carne that’s perfect for keto diets. This low-carb recipe combines juicy ground beef, aromatic spices, and fragrant tomatoes for a satisfying meal with minimal effort. With just a handful of ingredients, this dish delivers bold flavors that will warm you up on chilly nights.

After a long walk in the outdoors I find I can easily make this dish and feel warm and wholesome in no time.

I find this meal to be very filling itself and you can make it even fuller by adding extra goodness like chopped celery, or different flavourings like oregano.

If you do still need a keto friendly side to serve it over then for me it has to be simple cauliflower rice. Or it goes great with zoodles too made from zucchini/courgette.

For the meat I always keep it very keto friendly by using 20% mince meat/ground beef. But a normal diet or just low carb you can use what you wish.

But here is the speedy version with minimal ingredients that you can make quickly yourselves to start with.
