Nothing beats Keto Southwestern Chili on a cold winter night

During the winter months I love curling up with a good book in front of the fireplace. There’s something extra special about being warm and cozy inside while the snow flies outside. I could sit and watch the snow fall all day. Unfortunately, I rarely have that luxury. Life is hectic and busy.

That’s why I enjoy Keto Southwestern Chili. It helps when everything is hectic. I can throw it together in minutes in my instant pot and it’s ready to eat speedy quick. It allows me more time to savor the time I do have and warms me from the inside out on those cold winter nights.

Recipe Notes

Any sugar free salsa will work with this recipe. I prefer a medium spicy salsa to give my chili a little extra zip. Try different types of salsa to change up the flavor profile.

The nutrition label does not include the extra condiments such as cheese, sour cream or avocado. I add the avocado to increase my fat content. Be sure to include the extra condiment calculations in your macros if you are keeping track.
