Low-Carb Chili
Original Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup diced red onion
4 minced garlic cloves
1 pound ground beef
2 tablespoons cumin
1 tablespoon oregano
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups chopped zucchini
1/4 cup diced green chile
1 cup chopped bell pepper
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup tomato sauce
1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon minced parsley
Optional toppings: sour cream, cheese, avocado
Directions
- Add olive oil in a large pan or pot over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the onions and garlic.
- Add the ground beef with all the ground spices. Allow the meat to brown while breaking it apart with a wooden spoon or spatula so it doesn't clump up.
- Once the ground beef is done, add the zucchini, chile, bell peppers, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, bay leaf, and parsley.
- Bring to a rolling boil for three minutes. Then, reduce heat to a simmer and cover for 20 minutes. If you like your chili a bit thinner, feel free to add a little beef broth.
- Take off the heat and serve in a bowl with low-carb toppings like cheese, sour cream, or avocado slices.
