Ingredients in Whole30 + Keto Instant Pot Chili

The real star of this chili is the beef. I get my organic, pasture raised, hormone + antibiotic free ground beef from ButcherBox. The taste can’t be beat!

Along with the ground beef I’m adding in tons of vegetables in all the colors of the rainbow. Onion, celery, zucchini, squash, bell peppers, canned tomatoes.

For spice I’m using canned diced green chiles, chili powder, cumin, oregano and smoked paprika. This is a mild spice, my kids are totally fine eating this. If you want more spice, add in more diced green chiles and chili powder. Maybe even cayenne!

Whole30 + Keto Instant Pot Chili No Beans

One thing this chili does not have is beans, which keeps in whole30 compliant + keto friendly. With all the ground beef and vegetables, you don’t even notice!

For fun toppings, I like serving mine topped with sliced avocado and some chopped cilantro.

The best part of this chili is that makes enough for 8 servings! So my family of 4 will have leftovers that  I can use for meal prep lunches, or freeze for future dinners.

Meal prep and freezing instructions are in the recipe notes.

  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1 yellow onion chopped
  • 1 zucchini chopped
  • 1 yellow squash chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped
  • 4 ribs of celery chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic grated or finely minded
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons pepper
  • 2 pounds ground beef I get my 100% grass fed hormone + antibiotic free beef from ButcherBox, which I highly recommend!
  • 2 14.5-ounce cans diced fire roasted tomatoes
  • 1 15-ounce can tomato sauce
  • 1 4-ounce can diced green chiles
  • 3 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1 tablespoon oregano
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • Heat your instant pot over SAUTE. Add the avocado oil, and saute all the vegetables for 7-10 minutes until soft.

  • Add the ground beef and break it up. Cook for 5 minutes.

  • Add in the canned tomatoes, tomato sauce, spices + chicken stock. Stir to combine.

  • Close with the lid, and make sure the vent is at SEALING. Hit CANCEL, then cook on HIGH PRESSURE for 15 minutes. Will take about 10-15 minutes to reach pressure, then it will start counting down from 15. After the 15 minutes is up, do a QUICK RELEASE, where you move the valve to VENTING to release all the steam. Once all the steam is gone and the float valve has dropped, you can safely open the instant pot.

  • Serve warm topped with your favorite toppings: sliced avocado, jalapeños, cilantro, etc.

  • Will keep in an airtight container refrigerated for 5 days, or frozen for 6 months.
