Low Carb Chili

Chill

I found this on a low carb website and it is very good. Sometimes I use the cinnamon, other times I don't. It tastes good even if you aren't a 'low carber'. The picture was taken using 2 lbs of beef stewing meat! Thanks for the comments to use 2 lbs, it's much better!

This chili recipe rocks! I made this to top hot dogs for lunch as I was having a craving and it hit the spot. The only change I made was to add diced jalapenos for some heat. This was delicious. Thanks so much!

    I made this for my boyfriend (omitted the cinnamon), and I guess it's OK if you're on a strict low-carb diet, but it really seemed like meat sauce for pasta instead of chili. He didn't eat the leftovers. I wouldn't recommend it or make it again.

    I've been on a low-carb diet for what seems forever, and I'm SO sick to death of either loads of chicken or beef, cream-based dishes and/or hours of preparation, only to find that the results of all my efforts have been wasted. I can easily say this chili is THE single best low-carb meal I've ever made. As a matter of fact, it's the ONLY low-carb meal I could easily see myself eating every week! I'm not sure why some people complained about the cinnamon, but IMHO, the cinnamon is what makes the chili THE BEST! Not too overpowering, and all the spices just blend together beautifully. Even my fussy husband went back for seconds on this. Thanks for sharing this fab low-carb recipe.. it's a staple in our house now!

    I made this for my husband when he was on a low-carb diet. I couldn't stop eating it myself. I did not add the cinnamon and used fresh mushrooms.
