🧂 Ingredients
-
1 lb (450g) ground beef (80/20 blend)
-
½ lb (225g) ground pork or sausage (optional for flavor)
-
4 slices bacon, chopped
-
1 cup beef bone broth
-
1 tbsp butter or tallow
-
1 tsp salt
-
½ cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese (more for topping)
-
(Optional): ½ tsp smoked paprika or chili powder (for keto-friendly version)
👨🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Bacon
In a large pot or skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crispy.
Remove bacon bits and set aside, keeping the fat in the pan.
Step 2: Brown the Meat
Add ground beef and pork to the pan.
Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and slightly crispy.
Season with salt and optional spices.
Step 3: Add Broth & Simmer
Pour in the beef broth and add butter or tallow.
Simmer uncovered for 20–25 minutes, until thickened.
Step 4: Add the Cheese
Stir in shredded cheese while hot.
Mix until melted and creamy — the chili will become thick, cheesy, and ultra-rich.
Step 5: Serve Hot
Spoon into bowls and top with extra cheese and crispy bacon bits.
Optionally, add a dollop of butter for more fat and shine.

💡 Tips for Perfect Cheesy Carnivore Chili
-
For strict carnivore, use 100% cheese and beef — skip seasonings.
-
Try aged cheddar or Gruyère for a sharper taste.
-
Add a spoonful of cream cheese for an even creamier texture.
-
Store leftovers up to 3 days in the fridge or freeze for up to 3 months.
