Keto Chorizo Chili! 🌶 It's so spicy, so easy, and oh so good that this may just become a weekly go-to for you, and us! We love whipping up a massive pot of soup at the beginning of the week to have on hand for easy meals and this one does not disappoint. Here's what we've got going on in the pot of goodness...
Ingredients in Keto Chorizo Chili
- Kiolbassa Chorizo - the BEST chorizo we've tried and made by one of our favorite companies. This chorizo is made in small batches and is gluten-free and dairy-free.
- Ground beef
- Onion
- Garlic
- Tomatoes
- Peppers
- Spices
- Bone broth
How to make Keto Chorizo Chili
- Remove the casing from the chorizo. In a 5-quart Dutch oven over medium high heat brown the chorizo for 5-6 minutes, remove with a slotted spoon, place in a large bowl and set aside. Add the ground beef to the pot and brown for 5-6 minutes, remove and place in the bowl with the chorizo.
- Add the butter to the pot along with the diced peppers and onions. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened, add in the garlic and cook another minute.
- Add in the spices and cook, stirring, for an additional 30 seconds.
- Add the browned meat back to the pot along with the remaining ingredients. Reduce the heat to a low simmer, cover, and cook 30 minutes.
Can I use different meat than ground beef?
You can! We've used ground chicken, turkey, and bison and they're all equally delicious but we have to say we're partial to bison!
Can I leave the chorizo in slices instead of crumbling it?
You can, but it's not going to be cohesive. To make the chorizo crumble all you need to do is remove the casing from the links.
Optional topping options for this low-carb Keto Chili recipe
We say optional, but they're really not 😉 The toppings are the best part in our opinion!
- Sour cream
- Avocado
- Cilantro
- Diced onion
- Pickled jalapenos

I'm a chili-lover, and I was happy to find a recipe that would work for me on the keto diet. I've made this recipe four times, and each time it turned out perfectly and my whole family loved it. Even if I wasn't eating keto, this chili would be a staple dinner for us. It may be my favorite chili recipe ever, it's so good.

Hello! I REALLY want to try this recipe but I don’t have a Dutch oven. Do you think it would be possible in a crock pot? Or just a regular pot on the stove? Thanks in advance!
Cast Iron Keto says
Hi Deanna, yes, you can use any type of pot.

Good but I think there’s way too much beef stock in this recipe; I used 3 cups and even after simmering 45 mins it was still pretty liquidy;
I’d recommend only using 2 cups
