    Low Carb Chili


    Source of Recipe


    the web

    List of Ingredients




    1 lb ground beef
    1/2 cup chopped onions
    1/4 cup finely chopped garlic
    1/4 cup chopped green chili peppers
    5 Tbsp tomato paste
    1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
    3/4 tsp chili powder
    1/2 tsp cumin
    1/8 tsp cayenne
    1 packet Splenda

    Recipe



    Brown the ground beef with the onions and garlic. Mix in the chili peppers. Make a sauce from the tomato paste, cocoa powder, chili powder, cumin, cayenne and Splenda. Mix this in. Cook 15 minutes, more if possible to mature the flavors.

    Servings: 3
    Carbs per serving: 4g

    Note that onion is high carb (7.5g/.5 cup) so you can drop that quantity down if you want. Other things to include if you wish are:
    2 plum tomatoes, chopped up (4g)
    1/2 cup mushrooms (1g)
    1/2 cup zucchini (3.3g)
    1 Tbsp red wine (adds flavor)

    You can enjoy the chili plain, or sprinkle grated cheese over it, or put a dollop of sour cream on top of it. It's also good rolled up like a burrito in a low carb tortilla! Mix and match, and see which combinations you enjoy the most.
