Keto Chili
A legitimate keto chili can be challenging to develop. More often than not, the protein gets a little out of control in its ratio to fat, and the net carbs are also unusually high in most chili recipes. However, we have concocted a keto chili recipe that fits into (or very close to) the ideal macronutrient range. This chili is easy enough to prepare for a beginner cook to prepare, and the flavor of the finished product is superb! It's delicious garnished with KetoLogic Keto Crisps just before serving. You get the best of both worlds when some of the cheese crisps starts melting, while the top stays crunchy!
