🥩 High-Protein Carnivore Chili (Bean-Free, Plant-Free)
🍳 Ingredients:
-
2 lbs ground beef (85–90% lean for high protein)
-
1 lb ground pork (optional for flavor & fat balance)
-
1/2 lb beef liver, finely minced (optional for nutrient density)
-
1 tsp salt
-
1/2 tsp black pepper (optional — not strict carnivore)
-
1 tsp smoked paprika or chili powder (optional ketovore-friendly)
-
1 cup bone broth or beef stock
-
4 oz beef tallow or bacon fat
-
Optional topping: Shredded raw cheese, crispy bacon bits, sour cream (if dairy tolerated)
🔪 Instructions:
-
Brown the meat:
In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add beef tallow or bacon fat. Add ground beef and ground pork, breaking it up with a spatula. Brown well — let it sear for flavor. -
Add organ meat (optional):
Add minced liver once the main meat is browned. Stir until fully cooked and integrated. -
Season:
Add salt, optional pepper, and chili powder if you’re ketovore. Stir well. -
Add broth:
Pour in bone broth. Reduce heat and let simmer uncovered for 30–45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. -
Adjust fat/protein balance:
Skim off fat if you want higher protein/lower fat, or leave it for energy-dense keto carnivore. -
Serve hot:
Top with cheese or crispy bacon if desired.
