  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes

Instructions

  1. Brown the Beef: In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until it is browned and crumbled, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  2. Cook Vegetables: Add the diced onion, minced garlic, diced bell peppers, and diced zucchini to the pot. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. Add Spices: Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook for 1-2 minutes until the spices are fragrant.

  4. Combine Ingredients: Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and beef broth to the pot. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

  5. Simmer: Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors have melded together and the chili has thickened to your liking.

  6. Serve: Ladle the chili into bowls. If desired, top with a dollop of sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped cilantro. Enjoy your delicious and hearty Keto Chili!
