Spring, Summer, Fall, or Winter—anytime is the perfect time for a cozy bowl of chili—but don’t tell me it’s a low-carb, no-bean Chili recipe.
My husband doesn’t eat beans on his low-carb diet but loves chili, so I developed this simple recipe.
He asks for it almost every time I go shopping!
It’s loaded with veggies because they’re healthy and help it stretch further without having to spend a lot filling it up with meat.
Give it a try on your next snowy day!

Low Carb No Bean Chili Recipe
Ingredients
1 lb. ground beef
1 lb. ground pork
Two cans of diced tomatoes
(2) Packets of chili seasoning mix
Two bell peppers, diced
1 large onion, diced
16 oz. sliced mushrooms
hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Cook the ground beef and pork thoroughly.
Add ingredients except hot sauce, stir well, and simmer for one hour or until veggies are tender.
Alternatively, you can put cooked meat and raw veggies in a crock pot on high for about 4 hours or low for eight hours.
Serve with hot sauce.
Notes:
Finisher Tip: I don’t make a very spicy chili because my children don’t like spicy food, but serving hot sauce on the side lets each person adjust the heat to their liking.
Final Tip: Most soups and chilies improve with sitting for a day, so I make this the night before for full flavor.

Props to you for NOT using beans! I swear, every chili recipe I come across, it feels like, has beans which just make the entire thing taste like beans and not chili. Love this recipe! Thanks for linking up with delicious dishes recipe party!
Note: I now use fire-roasted tomatoes and chili powder instead of the chili mix–so tasty!
How much chili powder? (Don’t want to over or under do it.) 🙂
I have never thought you can add mushrooms in chili what and amazing idea, I love mushrooms!!! Thank you for sharing this yummy looking recipe, pinning to my Dinner Recipes Board!
Best Wishes,
Love
So smart to leave the beans out so the chili is low carb. I wish I had thought of that. I wonder if I can get away with it at my house. We shall soon see! Thanks for sharing with us at Merry Monday.
Making this again today! I absolutely love this chili!!
Carb count and servings in this delicious chili recipe please?
I looked in MFP and it has approx 19 in 4 servings. Net was around 10 but if you make your own chili seasoning it cuts the carbs down by 6 carbs for total recipe. Sounds good to me
Do you happen to.what the carb count per cup is??? My child is insulin dependant and if love to try this exact recipe
Some chili season packets are loaded with carbs. I make my own.
Thank you for the recipe, I will def make this one.
How Many servings does it contain and how much is each serving?
I was just wondering the same thing. I would like to make ahead and portion out for lunches.
I make this chili all winter, my family asks for it all the time! I don’t use mushrooms, I use 2 lbs of Turkey meat instead and I use 3 cans of fire roasted tomatoes. Makes it a little soupy but really good still.
