Chili is great for this time of year. This recipe is especially delicious because it's keto-friendly. It's pretty spicy, but you can easily remove all or part of the Red Pepper flakes and Black (affiliate) Pepper to make it milder.
This Keto Spicy Chili recipe takes about 15 minutes of prep and about 5 hours to cook in a slow cooker (affiliate). Making it the night before, it's perfect for reheating the next day for dinner. Laying the chili on top of cauliflower rice or spaghetti squash is a great option.
You can also add a little more butter to the chili recipe for added fat. I hope you want to try this keto spicy chili recipe. This recipe makes 4-6 servings.
The one thing I had to remove from the traditional chili recipe to make it keto-friendly is kidney beans. It doesn't take away from the taste at all, so try it and taste for yourself.
