Raise your hand if you love chili? I know I do! I grew up eating my mom’s chili, which included beans, and it was and still is the best chili ever. We would eat it with rice or flour tortillas and it always was the shining star at every family function.
Because of my love for chili, I decided to make an equality delicious Whole30 and Keto version so I do not have to feel like I am missing out when I am eating healthy, and this definietly hits the spot.
I know there is a great debate on whether to add or not to add beans to your chili. Honestly, I think you it is a win win either way. If you are one who prefers beans in your chili, I guarantee you will not be miss the beans in this delicious bean-less version .
Hope you enjoy!
