Keto chocolate chili may sound weird, but you are going to love it!
It's getting cooler every day, and that means I've started to break out my crock pot!
I love stews, soups, and chilis, and I am excited to share this recipe with you.
I have been working on nailing down a hearty chili recipe that everyone in my house loves, and this one was gotten rave reviews from everyone in my house.
This keto chocolate chili may seem difficult to make, but I promise it's a lot simpler than it seems.
Don't let a long list of ingredients scare you off.
I would also like to encourage you to get creative in the kitchen and try your own.
That's what I try to do daily.
Sometimes I fail big time, but if you start small and keep tasting throughout, you can't mess a meal up too badly. 😉

It doesn't have to be a cold night to enjoy this delicious ground beef chili recipe. Combining chili and kielbasa is a favorite of mine and the chocolate powder gives this chili a flavor profile worth sharing! Rich, slightly sweet, and mild is a great way to describe this south of the border experience.

Let's keep this simple!
Process your tomatoes (if you can find lower-carb tomatoes please use them.
This is what I had on hand)
Place your tomato sauce in a crock pot and kick it up to high!
Add all spices and liquid ingredients (except garlic powder and butter) to your tomato sauce.
Don't forget your coffee! Oh, I mean for the sauce mixture, but you can have one too!
You deserve it.
Brown your ground beef. I cooked mine in bacon grease for extra flavor!
While that's cooking, start choppin' up your kielbasa, onion, and bacon.
Once your ground beef is done, drain it and set it aside.
Add chopped ingredients and butter to a pan and cook until the onion is crispy.
Add ground beef back into the pan and add your garlic powder.
Let this cook for about 5 minutes.
Then add all ingredients to the crock pot with your tomato sauce mixture and cook on High for 4 hours
. You can also use a large pot.
Serve and enjoy!
You can also add cheddar cheese and sour cream if you wish. Just make sure you calculate the carbs for the amount you use.

I'm so glad I just ran across your blog! I love chili, but I haven't found a keto recipe that has really sounded good to me. This one sounds fantastic! We are expecting cooler temps next week, so this is definitely going on the menu.

Can't wait to try it, but omitting the Worcester sauce- it contains gluten.
