Low-Carb Beef Chili
A pot of chili on the stove is the sign of a happy household – especially when it’s a healthy version that’s full of meat and flavor but low in carbs. This recipe is made with ground meat, so it can be made in a jiffy, but it still has that long-simmered, deep chili flavor everyone loves.
I like to serve this chili in big bowls heaped with all the fixings: sour cream, guacamole, shredded cheese, diced onions, fresh cilantro and, because I like a serious kick to my chili, a shot of hot sauce or spicy salsa.
