Low Carb Chili

August 22, 2018Laura

Who else is ready for fall? I have my Bath & Body Works Pumpkin Apple candle burning as I type this and have even started pulling out some of my fall decor! I’m ready for the cool weather, the pretty leaves, pumpkin everything, fall scents, cozy sweaters, boots and of course all the yummy food!

Chili and soups are one of my favorite things to make during the fall/winter season! It might be a little early for chili, but I was craving it and have been for a while now! We had it for dinner two nights in a row and it did not disappoint! I used to make this chili recipe prior to starting keto. It was an easy recipe for me to modify and most importantly, make low carb. I included directions for both the Instant Pot and Crock Pot below. I like topping my chili with shredded cheese and sour cream, but you can also garnish it with onion, chopped tomatoes, olives or sliced avocado. Hope you enjoy one of my fall favorites!
