Notes

Net Carbs: 7g

This recipe was first published in Jan. 2016 and updated in 2017 with a video and some adaptions. I reduced the beef broth by half from the orginial recipe because some comments mentioned it wasn't as thick as a chili should be. You can reduce the broth even more or even eliminate it if the canned tomatoes seem like enough to you.
