Best Keto (Low Carb) Chili Recipe       

      Although I have reached my pre-baby weight after having my second child (all within 9 months postpartum), I still incorporate low-carb recipes that are well balanced. My household cracks jokes about my old habits of “keto-is-life”, but they scarf down all of the low-carb meals I make! Guess I am ‘she who has the last laugh’. The one thing nobody jokes about, are the results they have seen in my progress. Clearer skin, glowing, higher energy, razor focus. You do not have to eat a keto diet, to still eat SMART.

      Every diet is different, and if you feel like switching up or adding more ingredients, do you! Just in time for hoodie weather, we bring you this (keto) low-carb chili recipe. It’s almost hoodie weather, after all! So, you need recipes that will not only keep you warm, but will keep your body at its healthiest to get you through fall and winter time.

2. Push vegetables to one side of the pan and add beef. Cook, stirring occasionally, until no pink remains. Drain fat and return to heat. 
3. Add chili powder, cumin, oregano, and paprika and season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine and cook 2 minutes more. Add broth and bring to a simmer. Let cook 10 to 15 more minutes, until most of the broth has evaporated. 
4. Ladle into bowls and top with sour cream, reserved bacon, cheese, green onions, and avocado.
