Just like a bowl on Instant pot Hamburger Helper, I want it SIMPLE..

Is Chili Low Carb?
Traditional chili is NOT low carb since It’s loaded with various beans and legumes.
However, because I am THAT weird girl who doesn’t want any such thing tainting my slurperty-bowl of (whole30!)chili, I made you this low carb chili recipe accidentally on purpose.
“On purpose” because beans + chili = big fat NO in heart.
“Accidentally” because I’m not a low carb person, but – PYSCH – an Instant pot full of veggies and meat is pretty much as low carb friendly AS IT GETS. And it also a perfect crock pot meal prep recipe so you can have that action for lunch the next day!
How to make No Bean Keto Chili
Sautee
Pour a splash of oil into your instant pot and set it on the saute setting. Add in the veggies and cook, stirring until they start to soften.
Brown
Add in the remaining oil and the ground beef and cook until it has browned. Remove excess oil at this point. Add in this spices and cook, stirring until the beef is completely cooked through and no pink remains.
Cook
Add all the ingredients you have left and stir to combine, leaving out the parsley. Cover the instant pot and set it to sealing. Cook on manual high pressure until it is finished cooking and let it steam release naturally.
Serve
Set the instant pot onto saute mode again and stir the chili for a few minutes so that the excess liquid can evaporate off. Divide it into bowls, garnish with the pasley and DEVOUR!
Top Tips for making Keto Chili No beans
- Saute it Well: The flavor of the veggies will really shine if you sautee them longer, until they are soft and begin to brown a little. Don’t skip the saute step!
- Evaporate the Excess Water: Once you remove your lid from the instant pot, it’s important to cook the chili on saute mode so that you can get rid of the excess water. It will make the chili richer!
Storage
Now that you have a hot and delicious pot of no bean keto chili, it’s time to enjoy it! If you happen to have leftovers, or if you made extra for mealtimes made easy, here’s how to store it. I recommend storing this chili in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. It freezes really well too- just store it in a freezer safe container in the freezer and it should last up to 3 months this way!
A bowl of this chili only has 11g of carbs! Which is much better than it’s usual, bean-filled counter part!
This chili sure is! It’s loaded with veggies and ground beef for a protein punch that will keep you full and fueled without the bloated feeling that usually comes after chili 😉
If you want to make this on the stove top, simply follow the same directions for sauteing the ingredients. Instead of cooking on manual in the Instant Pot, just bring everything to a boil and then reduce the heat to simmer for 30 minutes or so, until the chili has thickened! Easy!

Do you recommend freezing any leftovers?
Taylor Kiser says
Yes, you can freeze any leftovers.
Miriam alex says
I have made this so many times . It’s so easy and my whole family loves it!!!
Taylor Kiser says
So glad to hear that! Thank you!
Hannah says
Does anyone know what timing I would use to make this in a slow cooker rather than an Insta Pot??
Taylor Kiser says
Hi Hannah! Actually, I would use the stove stop, since you need to saute and such! Hope that helps!
Iris says
Made this for my family last night and it was a big hit! The combo of seasonings were a little different than the usual, and we all liked it. Definitely use the water to deglaze the pot or you might get the dreaded burn notice on your cooker. Will make again!
Taylor Kiser says
So glad to hear this was a big hit with your family! Thank you, Iris!
Gabriella says
I made a double batch of this. Added 1lb of bacon, and 2 whole cut up jalapeños. It is fantastic and I’m excited to freeze the other half!
Taylor Kiser says
Glad to hear! Thanks, Gabriella!
Katie says
“Once cooked, let it steam release naturally.” How many minutes should I expect this to take? I think I opened the lid prematurely and there was a lot of water which took forever to boil off
Taylor Kiser says
My guess is you opened the lid too soon as well.
j says
what is the serving size? i might have missed it thank you
Taylor Kiser says
This recipe is for 6 servings. That info is listed in the recipe card. 🙂
Maggie says
I made the No Bean Whole 30 Keto Chili in my Instant Pot and it was fully loaded with wonderful flavor and it was completely satisfying! Simply DELICIOUS! I served it with a spoonful of shredded sharp cheddar and a dollop of sour cream! It was a hit!
Taylor Kiser says
Thank you Maggie! I’m so glad to hear that this was a hit for you!
