What makes this recipe low carb?

What makes this recipe low carb is the fact it does not contain any beans. Different types of beans contain various carbohydrate contents, but the numbers are all pretty high. A tablespoon of kidney beans is equal to 110g of carbohydrates. Can you believe that?!

Because this chili has only 5g net carbs, it’s keto friendly as well.

Does this low carb chili freeze well?

Absolutely! Just stick it in an airtight storage container or heavy-duty freezer bag and freeze away! If you are placing chili in a bag, make sure you freeze the chili flat to ensure better storage organization. When you are ready to thaw the chili, simply place frozen chili in a bowl. How nice it is to be able to grab a precooked meal from the freezer! I think we all enjoy that!
