Keto Chili

1. Brown the Beef

In a large pot over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it up, until well browned. Drain excess fat if needed.

2. Sauté Aromatics

• 1 large onion (about 5 oz), finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, pressed

Add the onion and garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the onion softens.

• 1 1/2 Tbsp chili powder
• 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin, to taste
• 1 1/2 tsp paprika, to taste
• 1 tsp ground oregano

Stir in the spices. Cook for 1 minute to bloom them.

4. Build the Chili

• 1 (15 oz) can diced tomatoes
• 1 cup beef broth
• 3 Tbsp diced jarred jalapeños
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt, to taste

Add the tomatoes, beef broth, jalapeños, and salt. Stir well.
