Low Carb Beanless Chili

Low Carb Beanless Chili

I’ve always loved the flavor of chili, but beans? Not so much! The texture just doesn’t do it for me. While Texas Chili is delicious, it skips the tomato products, which I miss. So, I decided to create my own Low Carb Beanless Chili recipe that gives me the best of both worlds.

This recipe is super easy to whip up in a Dutch oven or soup pot using ingredients you probably already have on hand. My secret ingredient? Ro*tel Canned Diced Tomatoes. While you can definitely use any diced tomatoes you like, Ro*tel offers a variety of options, from mild to spicy, so you can customize the heat level to your taste.

This Low Carb Beanless Chili is perfect for meal prep, too. I often make a big batch and enjoy it for lunch all week long!

This dish pairs perfectly with my Low Carb Cornbread. Just pop in the oven while the chili simmers, and you’re all set!
