Nothing quite satisfies the stomach and soul like a bowl of this Low Carb Chili on a chilly day (see what we did there?). And you don’t have to say goodbye to that satisfaction when you’re looking to reduce carbs in your diet. In less than an hour of your time, this filling dinner will be prepped, cooked, and ready to enjoy!
My husband has an on-again, off-again relationship with Keto so on one of his low carb kicks, he invented this chili and got so much positive feedback from everyone who tried it. I have been wanting to share the recipe with you for years, but when I would ask, it was “a little bit of this and a little bit of that” until I finally nailed him down on it after he put it into an app for food tracking.
Because this recipe is my husband’s creation, we lovingly refer to it as Mr. Freezer Meal’s Low Carb Chili in the Freezer Meals 101 Club!
In this day and age, saving money on groceries seems like a must. And that’s exactly what the Freezer Meals 101 Club helps you do, all while backed by a community of cheerleaders. Like Zoe F., one of our lovely club members shared this about her experience:

- 1 lb. lean ground beef, browned and cooled
- 6 oz. bacon, cooked and chopped
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 jalapeño pepper, finely diced
- 3 clove garlic, minced
- 19 oz. black beans
- 56 oz. diced tomatoes
- 28 oz. tomato sauce
- 1 Tbsp. chili powder
- 1/2 tsp. cayenne powder
- 1 tsp. paprika
- 2 tsp. Montreal steak spice
Assembly instructions:
- Mix together all ingredients in a bowl and transfer to a large resealable freezer bag or if you want individual portions, into Souper Cubes or quart bags. Freeze.
Cooking instructions:
- Thaw. Heat over medium-high heat on stovetop until bubbling. Reduce to a simmer for 20 minutes. Or in slow cooker on low for 2-4 hours. Or in microwave, heat 2-3 minutes until bubbling. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and garnish with sliced green onions.
Whether you’re looking to fill your freezer for quicker weeknight dinners or drop off an easy meal for an expecting friend, an elderly family member, or someone who could use a little extra support, this Low Carb Chili is always a good choice. The savoury beef and bacon proteins deliver long-lasting fullness, and, when paired with the kick of the jalapeño, cayenne, chili powder, and paprika, the taste never disappoints.
Low Carb Chili Suggestions:
Like many of our chili recipes, this one is perfectly customizable according to your preferences and tends to feed the family for a few days. Check out these Low Carb Chili suggestions:
- Protein Alternatives: If you’d prefer a leaner protein option, ground turkey also goes well in this hearty meal. While the bacon really adds to the flavour of this dish, it can be omitted if you’d prefer.
- Toppings: For low carb topping options that really add to the eating experience, garnish with: green onion, sour cream, avocado or guacamole, or shredded cheese.
- Storage: Since this recipe makes 6 servings, leftovers are likely in your future. And they make the best work lunches or clean out the fridge nights! Chili lasts for about 3-4 days in an airtight container in your fridge.
- Souper Cubes vs Ziploc Bags: Freezing this Low Carb Chili in classic freezer meal ziploc bags makes for the perfect family meal. On the other hand, if you’d prefer single portion sizes, Souper Cubes are an easy grab and go meal made specially for one.
