As the cold weather starts to settle in here in Melbourne, this keto chilli becomes a weekly staple. It’s so warming and hearty. There’s nothing better on a cold winters night than putting your ugg boots on and sitting on the couch with a bowl of this chilli.
Keto Chilli
This recipe is perfect to cook up a big batch on the weekend and have to take for lunch during the week or to have 1 or 2 of your weekly dinners ready to go in the fridge. After we cook up a batch of keto chilli on the weekend we store 2 servings in the freezer, have one that night and 1 serving later in the week.
The best thing about this is when we have the conversation a couple of weeks later about what’s for dinner, we can do the lazy option and grab out the frozen chilli. We actually get pretty excited when we remember we have frozen chilli in the freezer.
Serving Suggestions
- This chilli is really good on it’s own. Just serve in a bowl and enjoy.
- Toppings. We love to add toppings to our chilli for extra flavour. Grated cheese, sour cream, guacamole and cilantro/coriander.
- Fried eggs. Adding 1-2 fried eggs on top of your chilli really brings it to the next level. It practically means you can have chilli for breakfast and/or eggs for dinner. Dan LOVES fried eggs so we often add a fried egg on this for dinner.
- Baked eggs. This is another way we love to use this chilli for breakfast. Just place your chilli serving into an ovenproof pan/skillet and make a couple of wells in it and then crack your raw eggs into the wells and bake till the eggs are cooked to your liking.
We would love to see how you take our chilli to the next level. Tag us @havebutterwilltravel on Instagram with your creations.

Ingredients
- 500 g beef mince 1 pound ground beef
- 500 g pork mince 1 pound ground pork
- 250 g chorizo meat (or 2 chorizo sausages) 1/2 a pound
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp thyme, chopped fresh or dried
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 chipotle chilli in adobo sauce, chopped
- 2 cups passata sugo
- 1.5 cup bone broth or stock
- 100 grams butter 1/2 cup
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- If you are using chorizo sausages, remove the skin and finely chop the meat
- Add the chopped chorizo sausage into a large pot over a medium high heat and cook until browned. We don’t add any oil when cooking the chorizo and just use the oil that comes out of the chorizo.
- Add the pork and beef to the pot and break up by stirring with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, stirring occasionally to avoid large clumps of ground meat.
- Add the tomato paste, dried spices and 1/2 tsp of salt and some fresh cracked pepper to the pot and stir to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes to release the fragrance of the spices.
- Add the passata, bone broth and the Chipotle chilli in adobo sauce and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 30 minutes.
- Add the butter and stir through till melted. Serve.

2 what of the peppers in Adobo sauce 😳🤔
2 of the peppers. They are usually whole peppers in the adobo sauce. Just take out 2 peppers and use them. Hope this makes sense.
Chorizo in chili??? YES!!!! Since I am the only one to eat it, half a batch gets frozen right away for a quick dinner down the road.
We love to cook up a batch of this and have it in the freezer for a quick dinner too. We love it.
Best chili ever. Better than any keto or non keto recipes i have made. So rich and delicious. I make it regularly.
Yum, yum, yum. I made this on a Sunday evening then had some each weekday for my work day lunch with steamed green veges and grated cheese
It’s great to cook up a batch and have ready for the week.
Really yummy, definitely making it again when it gets cold, even my dad who hates chilli liked this!
It’s definitely on high rotation in our house. Thanks Angie.
This really is the most delicious chilli I have ever made, and the family loved it too. Thanks!
Thank you. Glad everyone loved it. We had it today. It’s the best
How much exactly is a serving size?
Hi Kat,
We don’t have an exact serving size as it can easily vary depending on how much you reduce it etc. The best way to do it is just split it as evenly as you can between 8 serves.
I made this last night and it is delicious. Thanks for a great recipe!
Thanks Sandra, it’s long been a staple in our meal plan.
