This Classic Paleo, Whole30, and Low Carb Keto Chili recipe is easy, filling, and comforting when its cold outside.  It’s made with ground beef and a simple blend of homemade spices, tomatoes, and chilis – you will never even miss the beans! 

This is my mom’s classic chili recipe that I’ve eaten since I was a little girl. Now that I’m grown with a family of my own, it’s the recipe I make for them too. I’ve just made a few tweaks to make it Paleo & Keto compliant.

It’s a traditional, classi chili recipe that’s easy, filling, and comforting when its cold outside.  It’s made with ground beef and simple blend of homemade spices, tomatoes, and chilis – you will never even miss the beans!

While most chili recipes are naturally gluten free, not all are Paleo and Keto. Not only do many chili recipes rely on beans – which are not paleo, keto, or low carb, some people put masa (corn flour found in the Mexican food section) in their chili to give it an earthy, corn-like taste. But even when we did eat corn, my entire family prefered it without.

Also, if you’d like your chili to have some heat to it, just add 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper, I never do this because we don’t really like spicy food. I hope this recipe becomes a staple in your family like it is in ours.  😊
