Chili That’ll Make You Say “YASSS”

Hey, ever had one of those chilly days where all you want is a big ol’ bowl of warmth? Like, I mean, not just any warmth, but that cozy *hug-in-a-bowl* kinda vibe? Yeah, me too. So, let’s talk about my go-to for that: Carnivore Keto Chili. It’s like a meat party in your mouth—seriously, no beans invited!

Main dish photo — *The finished dish — looks amazing, right?*

Create a hyper-realistic photo of Carnivore Keto Chili, with a bowl slightly messy (like, maybe a spoon wedged in there, a few splatters on the table, you know?), natural lighting, and a shallow depth of field to make it look super inviting.

Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

Alright, so picture us in the grocery store—I’m pushing a cart, and I’m like, “Dude, we’re grabbin’ the good stuff.”

– 1 lb. ground beef (80/20) – This is your chili’s heart. Gotta have that fat for flavor, am I right?
– 6 slices Turkey Bacon (chopped) – Because we need that crispy goodness, and turkey bacon just has this way of making everything better.
– 1 cup beef broth – You can’t have chili without some liquid love.
– ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper – Basic seasoning but, like, essential?
– ½ teaspoon smoked paprika – This is where it gets smoky and cozy.
– ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder – To make your neighbors curious about what you’re cookin’!
– ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional) – I mean, if you’re feeling spicy, go for it!
– 2 tablespoons butter – Because butter makes everything better, duh!

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Okay, so here’s the scoop. Last winter, I had a bunch of friends over to binge-watch some shows (we did the whole *Stranger Things* thing) and I was like, “I need something hearty!” I whipped up this chili, and it was gone in minutes. Like, I barely got a bowl for myself! And everyone was raving about it, asking for the ‘secret recipe’ (it’s no secret, really, just lots of love and meat). Now, every time the weather gets cold, my friends can smell it from a mile away and show up at my door like, “Where’s the chili?”

Another beautiful angle of the dish — *Just as gorgeous from this angle too!*

(Another beautiful shot because we can’t get enough!)

Here’s another angle of this masterpiece—because who doesn’t love a good chili pic?

The One Trick That Changes Everything

So, listen up—this is the *magic* moment: after you’ve let it simmer for a bit, *stir in the butter*. I know it sounds simple, but trust me, it takes the richness to a *whole new level*. It’s like, BAM—flavor explosion!

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

1. Don’t skip the bacon – Seriously, it’s the flavor base!
2. Watch the heat – Medium heat is key for cooking the beef just right, ya know?
3. Check the chili after 18 minutes – I always say 20, but I’ve burned it before, so learn from my mistakes!

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

Leftovers? Ha! If you’re lucky enough to have any, just pop it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Or freeze it for up to a month! Just make sure to let it cool completely before freezing.

If You Liked This, You’ll Probably Like These Too
