Low Carb Chili - All the amazing flavors of chili, without the beans. I think you will find that you don't miss them at all.
Nothing screams wintery comfort food like a slow cooker full of low carb chili. Even better when you top it with lots of sour cream and sharp cheddar cheese. This recipe is so good, you won't even miss the beans. This chili does have a little bit of kick to it. If you do not like spicy, you can always omit the cayenne and/or the jalapenos... I love to serve it alongside my Cheddar Bacon Jalapeño Biscuits. It freezes really well. If you have a large slow cooker, I recommend making a double batch and freezing half of it. Cook once and eat twice! NOTE: If you make this low carb chili, then you should immediately turn around and make this Keto Chili Pot Pie Casserole. You will thank me. Your spouse will thank you. Your kids will thank you. Your dog will wish he could thank you. I think you get the point.

This chili is one of my favorites...LOVED IT and I am making it again this weekend in order to bring it work with me all week and eat for lunch!

Dean Peters says
Oh my, do we have a hot one here!!! So good looking a lo-carb recipe that the ONLY thing I would do different would be to cut the beef by half ... subbing ground turkey in its place.
Well, I might also LIGHTLY brown the beef+ground turkey combo on the grill to give the meat an even smokier savor.
Sarah says
You don't happen to know the calorie count for this recipe, do you? lol Looks yummy!!!!
Orchid says
I made this for dinner last night. I must say that the spices listed on this recipe were spot on! There was just enough heat and the flavor was fantastic.
I changed a couple of small things for fun. Rather than 2.5 lbs of ground beef, I used about a pound of ground beef and 1.5 lbs of beef stew meat cut into small chunks. Also, I reduced the amount of tomato paste to just two tablespoons to cut back even further on the carbs. It definitely had enough tomato flavor even with this small amount.
The chili was even better the second day as leftovers. Love this recipe and am keeping it close for the upcoming football season.
myfirstbaby says
I have always used beans as I just dont think you can eat chili w/out them... lol
But your looks super Yummy... Bonus the husband can take or leave the beans as long as its chunky.
Thanks! Going to try tomorrow.
MissyP says
Made this for dinner tonight, and it had just the right amount of heat (minus the jalapenos)! It was fantastic!

Snowmanlover says
Making it now but there seems like there is not enough liquid?
Kyndra Holley says
It's chili. It is supposed to be thick 🙂 Did you drain the juices from the cans or add them to the crockpot?
Kelly says
The thickness and chunkiness make it awesome!!! I actually thought the same thing before I dished it out and devoured it. Lol.😂
Snowmanlover says
Oh I added the juices! I even added water to the can of tomato paste to get some of it out and add some liquid. It seems all meat. Maybe after it cooks, some liquids will losen up. I love the "brothy " part of chili too!
Kyndra Holley says
I'd love to hear how it turns out. I hope you love it. I don't know what the weather is like where you are, but where I am, it is definitely the perfect day for it!
Snowmanlover says
It shows it as this: Per Serving: 181 11 12 8 32 7
181 calories, 11 carbs, 12 fat, 8 protein, 32 Cholesteral and 7 sugar grams.
I just used all the canned goods, my meat was too high in fat, I always use lean but I did not have the recipe in front of me when shopping. Just now sure why the carbs turned out so high? I do hope it makes at least 6 cups servings since right now it is mostly meat. I do appreciate your help! Thank YOU!
Kyndra Holley says
And you used 2 1/2 pounds ground beef? That alone takes up more than 6 cups
Snowmanlover says
Very good. It only made 6 cups for me and that was after adding a can of broth to it. I am so afraid of how many carbs this will be. I put in the ingredients and for 16 servings it said 11 carbs per cup but now that is only made about 6 cups, I am sure I consumed a lot of carbs. Will make it again. Good spices.
Kay says
This recipe looks scrumptious. Ok...it shows 1 serving is 1 cup. In order to plan my meals.about how many cups (servings) is this recipe supposed to make??? More than 6???? Thanks
Tricia Morris says
Brilliant recipe! I just made it today, and it is divine! My husband loved it, too! Thank you for the recipe--for ALL of your recipes! So appreciated.
Kyndra Holley says
No problem. So happy you liked it. Last time I made it, I didn't even get any. My husband ate it all.

Sarah Eicher says
Yummy! We didn't even miss the beans and my husband and I love beans in our chili. Spices were perfectly spicy. We will definitely be making this chili recipe again and are excited to try more recipes from peacelovelowcarb.com. Thank you!
Peace Love and Low Carb says
Thanks for the feedback. So happy you liked it!
Jen says
A very yummy chili recipe! but agree with another comment that it didn't make nearly 16 cups. I added least 2 cups of liquid to thin it out since I wanted to make it stretch a little and it made 11 cups. Changed the macros to 210 calories per serving and 6 net carbs. Still pretty good for chili!
Megan says
Do you think this would be okay with ground chicken or turkey? And if so, would you cook it all the way through prior to loading it into the crockpot? Thanks!
Marykays says
I cook ground beef in the crockpot all the time. I just have to periodically break it up and stir. My suspicion is your chili can be made 100% in crockpot. Can't wait to try it!
Peace Love and Low Carb says
That would definitely depend on how lean the ground beef you use is. The higher the fat content of the beef, the more grease it will produce. You could end up with a really oily chili
Carl says
So I tried this chili yesterday and was so anxious to try it as it cooked in the slow cooker. I was so impressed with it, it's the best chili I have ever had! Thanks for the recipe it's delicious!
Fintan says
I made this chili yesterday and it was the best chili I have ever made. Instead of the list of dry spices I used a pack of McCormick's Hot Chili Mix. I also dropped the Jalapeños.
I wish I could find a low carb, gluten free hearty bread recipe too.
Toni says
Made this today, not in the crockpot and with more jalapenas & garlic, very thick put it over shredded lettus w/dollop of sc & shredded cheddar, very spicy my husband loved it.......so did I,did not miss the beans.
Stacy says
This looks really good and incredibly easy. What do yo mean by 'mounded' if reference to the cumin?
Peace Love and Low Carb says
I just mean heaping as opposed to leveled off.
Cathy D says
Made this tonight for dinner. Use regular pot on the stove because I didn't have enough time 🙂 I also used 1lb of grass fed hamburger and 1lb of grass fed beef cubes. Didn't make mine quite as 'hot' as yours but everyone raved at the dinner table! I'm not usually a fan of chili, I think because I don't really like the beans. This beanless chili was absolutely perfect for me. My non-LCHF/Primal family members had some pasta (gag) with theirs. Oh...I made a yummy cheese sauce for the pasta eaters, but gotta say, it was quite yummy drizzled over the chili. mmMMmmmm Thanks for the great recipe! I now have a chili that I can eat that tastes delicious!
caroline says
Can I ask what measurements of spices did you use to make it not as spicy?
Thanks a mill

Alexis B says
We love spicy! I added a minced habenero and a 4 oz can of organic tomato sauce (of course that is less low carb because there is some sugar in the tomato sauce). Huge hit! Awesome recipe. Absolutely awesome!
Peace Love and Low Carb says
Yay! Thank you! So happy you enjoyed it.

Robin L. says
Holy cow! Maybe it was the chili powder I used, but this was WAY too spicy (and I like spicy foods!). I'm going to need to make a plain batch and mix them together, so I hope it freezes well.

Dana says
I prepped this recipe this morning and threw it in the Crock pot because, well, Sunday! And football...duh. lol. Right now my entire house smells amaaaaazing. I did keep the onion because I love the flavor, but modified it. I took a quarter of the onion and grated it. You still get all the full flavor with only a quarter of the carbs (and my picky boyfriend won't eat chunks of onion so BONUS!). I also had to get creative with the eat because my grocery store had zero jalapeños...who does that? I there in a poblano and some red pepper flake. Fingers crossed! Thanks for the great recipe!!!! (It will be served over my homemade spicy sweet potato fries...can't wait).
Jeannie says
I made this today. Absolutely love it. I didn't have tomato paste so I could down a 16oz can of tomato sauce (medium for 7 minutes on stove). Used only 2 pounds of ground beef. The spices were fabulous. Did not think I could like a bean-less chili! Thank you for this recipe.
Angela Curry says
I have your cookbook with the three meat chili and that is a different recipe. Which one tastes better to you? I havent made either one yet. Thanks!
MLA says
This chili is really really good, and yes spicy! I used 2 lbs of 7% lean turkey instead. I did add a little water and was able to get 10 full cups of chili- definitely not 16- and with putting everything into My Fitness Pal the carb count is a lot higher than I wanted - about 13 net carbs per serving. Next time I will cut corners with the tomato paste etc to cut carbs..
Graham says
Hello! I made this chili in the crockpot. Really good. I cut the jalapeno to an 1/8 of a cup and used a little less onion. It was fantastic. Will make again.

Made this today.Love chili even in the summer.The spicier ,the better.Never thought that I would eat chili without beans,but this is the best chili I have ever made and I have made my share of chilies.Even my husband loves it and he never eats chilies because he does not like beans.He had his with brown rice and I had mine with cheese and sour cream.Thank you for your recipes.

Peace Love and Low Carb says

Christel says
Just an FYI... Most brands of Worcestershire sauce contain gluten. A lot of pre made seasoning packages do as well. This needs to be noted in the recipe if it is going to called "gluten free".
Peace Love and Low Carb says
It list the Coconut Aminos for the Gluten Free option
Laura says
Lee & Perrins is gluten free
Debra Carolan says
Hi I enjoy making your recipes. Love the fajita soup and the lemon mushroom chicken recipes.
I am curious, if you are already using fresh onion and garlic, why do you add additional ground onion and garlic?
Is that to pump up the flavor? I am making this today and may add chopped veggies like red or green bell pepper and mushrooms. Thanks, I can tell you really care about your recipes 🙂
Kelly says
This was DELICIOUS! A little too spicy for my boys, though, so next time I will leave out the cayenne and jalapenos, too. I made your cheddar jalapeno bacon biscuits to go with it, and it was SO satisfying! Thank you for a no-sweat slow cooker meal!
Lenora Proctor says
Excellent! Yes, very spicy! But I left the meat a bit chunky when I browned it ased a pound of mild pork sausage in addition to 2 lb of ground beef- Next time I will use less chili powder and cayenne....I am so impressed with this! Cheddar biscuits in the oven now!
Greg V says
oh yeah this is fantastic! I used a few chopped up chipotle peppers in adobe sauce instead of the jalapenos. It added a great smokey flavor! Also it was a bit thick, so I added some salsa that I had in the fridge! Finally, I added a little bit of sugar-free ketchup mixed with broth, to add more liquid. I know, that's more carbs, but I like a chili with some broth. It was all just fine! This is a recipe that you can easily adapt to your own tastes, but the overall flavor still remains spicy which is fabulous! Just saying! Try it you won't regret it.
Peace Love and Low Carb says
Yum! Love the idea of chipotle in adobo. I will have to give that a try. So happy you enjoyed it!

Cheryl says
I want to leave out the jalapeños and cayenne . Will it be just as tasty ?
Peace Love and Low Carb says

Cj says
Have you tried this with chicken or turkey meat? What would the count be?
Peace Love and Low Carb says
It would be great with any ground meat. If you use a different meat, just drop the ingredients into a site like myfitnesspal or fatsecrret to figure out your macros
Karla says
Hi I was wondering if I could cook this on high for 3-4 hours instead of on low for 6-8. Thanks!!

Amazing with a few tweaks!! I used 1.5 pounds of ground beef and 6 ounces of chorizo instead of all ground beef. I added a small can of hot chopped jalapenos instead of the pickled jalapenos. I also added a chopped green bell pepper. Nice heat, great taste!!

Susan says
This chili is wonderful. I was concerned about how "Kickin" it would be so I didn't add the cayenne pepper and added only half of the chili powder because I used Rotel stewed tomatoes and they are spicy already. I didn't have canned tomatoes with green chilies so I used a can of petite diced tomatoes and a half can of green chilies. It was absolutely perfect!

Pam Beard says
How did you adapt for the stove top? Thanks!
Judy says
I found this didn't make 14 servings, more like 9. I cannot seem to find canned stewed tomatoes with Mexican Seasoning in my grocery stores. Where do you find this? Overall a really good chili recipe, I did cut back on the cumin a little bit. and used 1/2 jalapeno. Great for freezing for meals made ahead and just reheating. Thanks!
★★★★
Julie says
Very tasty. A couple tweaks. Did not use tomato paste, used tomato sauce. I didn't have pickled jalapeno and worried about adding juice. I have jalapeno in my garden, so added 3 chopped up. Added a green pepper to beef as I cooked it with the onion. I added a tablespoon of cocoa powder, it really adds nice flavor to chili. I used a 28 ounce can of diced tomatoes instead of mexocan chopped tomatoes. I am serving with cheese, sour cream and cilantro.
★★★★★
Paige says
I’ve made this quite a few times in the last couple of years and my family is crazy about it. The spices are perfect! Today is a rainy fall day with snow on the tops of the mountains and the smell in my house while the chili cooked is such a beautiful thing.
★★★★★
Amber Weber says
I usually make chili with beans for my family, but I decided to give this recipe a shot. It was delicious! I consider my homemade chili to be very good, but this was over-the-top good, and I didn’t miss the beans at all. My husband said this was the best chili I’ve ever made. The only thing I did differently was to halve the cayenne and to put the jalapeños on the side. It ended up being the perfect spiciness for my husband and I, but a little too spicy for my kids. I also added maybe a half cup of water and cooked it in my Instant Pot for time’s sake. Thanks for such a wonderful recipe!

I just made this tonight and it was fantastic! I did tweak it a little since my grocery store didnt have pickled Jalapenos. Instead i used 1 fresh Jalapeno with a bit of the seeds and 1/4 can of diced Jalapenos. I also only used 1/2 of a red onion total since I am not a fan of onions. I was a little worried it would be too thick since there wasnt much liquid when I first added everything. After it cooked though, the tomatoes really broke down and created the perfect amount of liquid. I will definitely make again!
★★★★★
TERESA SMOOT says
I made this for the first time last night. Came out great even though I had to sub a couple items I didn't have like a can of stewed tomatoes and fresh garlic. I didn't think about it when I making it but is this also gluten free? I don't see it noted anywhere.

I discovered your chili recipe almost 2 years ago and it's THE BEST chili recipe I've ever made! I leave out the celery and jalapeno. My husband loves it, I love it - it's so good! Sometimes I use it to make a chili bake/dip. I pour the chili over softened cream cheese that's been spread in a baking dish, then top with shredded cheese and and bake! It makes a delicious party dip, or to eat just on it's own! So grateful for your recipe!

Lee Ann says
Made today, very good! Did change the recipe some tho, Only used 2 lbs of a ground turkey/90% lean hamburger mix. Left out jalapeños and cayenne pepper, still spicy enough, added some red peppers, extra half can of mild rotel with juice, and a can of diced tomatoes with juice, plus what the recipe said. We like tomatoes. Lol. Garlic directions were a little unclear to me, so I used 2tsp in with hamburger mix, did not add salt and pepper as it was in the other spice mixture and 3 tsp garlic added to the crockpot. So 5 tsp total.I used the jar minced garlic. Will definitely make again!
Arlene says
I started a low carb diet at the start of the new year to help shed some of the extra pounds gained from all the indulging. This recipe is excellent! I followed it to a t and it came out think, with a small kick and filling like chili on a rainy and cold day should be. Thanks for posting!

Working on my 2nd batch of this chili this week! We had it for dinner earlier this week. I caught my 12yo eating a bowl for breakfast the next day, and boy, she was MAD when the leftovers were gone. It's been 90 degrees and higher here in Colorado and our oven really heats up the kitchen; it was nice to have a recipe easily cooked in the slow cooker. I actually used my Instant Pot. This is a go-to recipe for all seasons!
★★★★★
Anna Hernandez says
I made this recipe but I added a bottle of Corona bear and a 1/3 cup of espresso coffee and boy was that so yummy! It enhanced the flavors of all the herbs and spices in this dish. To make it creamier, I added about 3/4 cup organic heavy cream and voila! To serve it, I sliced avocados and jalapenos for an extra kick. This is definitely a keto keeper recipe. To test things out I also served it to my kiddos but they got slices french bread (instead of avocados and jalapenos), They absolutely enjoyed it too. You know a recipe is good if your little ones repeat a dish 😉

We buy organic black soybeans from our Co-Op. They’re great low carb beans with great fiber!

I’m making this with vegetarian crumbles and added organic black soybeans. It smells AMAZING! It will be ready for dinner with sour cream, cheese and onions. Yes! Thank you! I had this recipe bookmarked and so glad I did! I’m in the Pacific Northwest at the water and it’s snowed here! Perfect day for chili!
