Carnivore diet Chili recipe (Beanless, No Tomato)
🧾 Ingredients:
-
2 lbs ground beef (80/20 works great)
-
1/2 lb ground pork or beef heart/liver (optional, for nutrient density)
-
4–6 strips bacon, chopped
-
1 tbsp beef tallow or butter
-
1 tsp salt (or to taste)
-
1/2 tsp black pepper (optional if you’re relaxed carnivore)
-
1/2 tsp smoked paprika or chili powder (optional for keto/carnivore crossover)
-
1/4 cup bone broth or water (for moisture)
🔪 Instructions:
-
Fry the bacon in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving the fat.
-
Add the ground beef and pork to the pot. Brown the meat well, breaking it up with a spatula.
-
Add beef tallow or butter if needed for extra fat and flavor.
-
Stir in salt, and if using, pepper and spices. Add bone broth to keep it moist and let it simmer gently for 20–30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
Add the crispy bacon back into the pot. Simmer 5 more minutes.
-
Taste, adjust salt/fat levels, and serve hot.
🔥 Optional Carnivore Add-ins:
-
Shredded beef, brisket, or short ribs (for texture and slow-cooked flavor)
-
Beef liver or heart, finely chopped (nutrient boost)
-
Heavy cream (dash added at the end for richness)
-
Egg yolks stirred in off heat for creaminess
🥣 Serving Ideas:
-
Top with a fried or poached egg

Serve with pork rind “chips” or carnivore bread
