Keto Chili Tips

Try not to use ground beef that has more than 20% fat, as it can make the overall chili very oily. If you don’t have leaner ground beef, you can pan fry the beef separately, drain well and rinse and soak up the excess oil before adding it to the pan with the other ingredients.

Spices– For a spicier kick, add cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes. 

  • Set your Instant Pot to the "Sauté" function. Brown the hamburger in the Instant Pot, breaking it apart into small pieces.

  • Drain and rinse the hamburger directly in the Instant Pot.

  • Add Chili Powder, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Tomato Sauce, and drained Diced Tomatoes to the Instant Pot. Stir well.

  • Secure the Instant Pot lid and set it to "Manual" or "Pressure Cook" on high for about 15 minutes.

  • Once the cooking cycle is complete, allow for a natural release for about 10 minutes, then perform a quick release to release any remaining pressure.

  • Open the Instant Pot, stir the chili, and check the thickness. If needed, you can set the Instant Pot to "Sauté" again and let it simmer for a few more minutes.

  • Stir in Thick it to finish thickening the chili.

  • Serve the Keto Chili in bowls, topping each serving with shredded Cheddar cheese.

 

Notes:

  • Adjust the cooking time if you prefer a thicker consistency.

  • Enjoy your Instant Pot Keto Chili!

  • Add Thick it to the chili to finish thickening it further.

  • Serve the Keto Chili in bowls, topping each serving with shredded Cheddar cheese.

  • Notes:

  • Let the chili boil down for approximately 45 minutes before adding Thick it to achieve the desired thickness.
