This keto chili is packed with bold flavor from ground beef, tomatoes, and spices — all in a low-carb, bean-free bowl of comfort you can make with your Crock Pot, Instant Pot, or stovetop.
In a lightly oiled skillet over medium-high heat, cook the onion for 5-7 minutes, until translucent. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the ground beef and cook for 8-10 minutes, breaking apart with a spatula, until browned.
Transfer the ground beef mixture into a slow cooker. Add all the remaining ingredients, except bay leaf, and stir until combined. Place the bay leaf into the middle, if using.
Cook for 6-8 hours on Low or 3-4 hours on High in a Crock Pot. For Instant Pot, pressure cook for 35 minutes. For stovetop, simmer covered for 1 hour.
