Saturday Night Chili Bake : Cheesy, Low Carb / Keto

If you've had a busy Saturday and are now short on time to get a tasty meal ready, look no further than this cheesy low carb/keto chili bake by Libby Jenkinson. It can make a lovely Saturday night (or any night) meal. Let the simple ingredients do the talking–ground beef with delicious veggies and flavourful spices. Throw everything in a baking dish, cover with cheese and let the oven do its magic, then serve with fresh cilantro and sour cream!


Ingredients
Serves Four
1 tbsp olive oil
½ cup (2¾ oz.) red onions, diced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 lb ground beef
1⁄3 cup red bell peppers, diced
1⁄3 cup green bell peppers, diced
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp chili powder
2 tsp tomato paste
1 cup (8½ oz.) canned whole tomatoes
1 cup (4 oz.) shredded cheddar cheese
salt and pepper to taste
For serving
½ cup sour cream
2 tsp fresh cilantro, chopped

Some Tips
i) To reduce dishes, you can also cook the beef and vegetables in an oven-safe skillet. When the beef is browned, simply top with cheese and place into the oven.
ii) Using both red and green peppers adds flavor, but if you prefer, you can just use one or the other.
iii) Serve with a dollop of sour cream.

  4. I like chili, especially in the winter, but I always include beans. To be honest, beans are what makes up most of what's in my freezer...

  5. We do like a similar chili, and often add some grated cheese to the bowl before serving it. Making it into a casserole is a good idea.
    Hope your weekend is going well.

  15. Can't beat a good chilli for winter days. My own version is much the same but without the cheese, and maybe paprika, oregano and lots of garlic. Good quality beef is essential. From a local butcher, not a supermarket.

  19. Sounds tasty! And I always like reducing the number of pans, dishes, spoons, etc, I use. Washing up is not my favourite part of cooking!

  20. I'm printing this one as I think the picky husband would enjoy this too.

  21. Yum, yum! I'd swap the ground beef for ground turkey/chicken or soya mince and go from there--a nice versatile dish for sure!

  24. Hi Jan, I am delighted to see this post because chili is one of my favorite meals. 😊 You’ve definitely given me some good ideas about a couple of extra ingredients to add plus topping with cheese melted in the oven. Great suggestion! And, a special thank you, Jan, for your very kind words on my 12th anniversary post. Your comments make my day! 😊 All the best to you and Eddie! John
