Is Chili Con Carne Low-Carb & Keto Friendly?
The traditional way of making chili con carne is not low-carb or keto-friendly, but keto chili con carne is. Normally, chili con carne contains kidney beans, rice, and sugar.
None of those ingredients is low carb, but as you can see in our recipe above, we make ours a little differently to make it perfect for your Keto diet.
Our Keto Beef Chili Recipe was updated in November 2020. There have been no changes made to the original recipe.
