There are more details in the recipe instructions below.

Stove top is hardest

To make this chili on the stove top, brown the ground beef with 1 tablespoon of oil in a stock pot over medium high heat until cooked through.

Once cooked and no longer pink, remove ground beef and add in remaining oil, onion and bell pepper. Sauté for a couple of minutes then add in garlic, jalapeno and seasonings. Sauté for another minute.

Add in diced tomatoes. Bring to boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer for at least 30 minutes. The longer the keto chili simmers, the better it will taste.
