The weather is turning cold here, and there is nothing more than I love than a good, hot bowl of chili to warm me from the inside out. Chili is one of the best comfort foods I grew up on. So when I decided to do a low carb diet, I thought chili was going to be a no-go for me anymore. Like I do with just about anything, I took to Pinterest for inspiration. It was then I came across a Keto Chili recipe. It sounded pretty good and very simple, plus it was to be made in the Instant Pot and I love an excuse to use that! This is the one that I have Instant Pot Ultra 8 Qt 10-in-1
So for this recipe, you need:
1 lb ground beef 1 lb sausage 1/2 onion, diced 3 Tbsp Chili powder 1 Tbsp Cocoa Powder Unsweetened
So first, I put the the Instant Pot on saute and put in a little olive oil and the onion. I cooked for a couple minutes, then put in both meats.
I continued cooking all of that until the meat was done and no longer pink. While it was browning, I mixed all the spices together.
Once the meat was done, I threw the spices and some fresh garlic in and mixed well.
Once well mixed, I put the rest of the ingredients in the meat and stirred until it was all mixed in.
I put the lid on and turned the pressure on. This cooks for 10 minutes.
Once the 10 minutes are up, do a quick release. I can’t tell you how AMAZING the house smelled when this was releasing. And it looked so good!
Normally I would like to eat chili with crackers, but they aren’t keto/low carb (not the kind I like anyways). So for low carb, I went with some cheddar cheese and sour cream, and it did not disappoint! Next time, I will be making a double batch and dividing it up and freezing it. **UPDATE 10/19/18 – I made a double batch in the Instant Pot Ultra 8 Qt 10-in-1
