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.
Whole30 + Keto Chili Meal Prep + Freezing
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.

Whole30 + Keto Instant Pot Chili
Ingredients
- 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
Equipment
Instructions
- 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.

SO GOOD! Reminds me of Wendy’s, but better and paleo! It makes a ton, which I love for meal prep.
I love this, thank you! Wendy’s chili is so good right?? So happy to have a version that tastes as good but is a bit healthier!
Should you drain the canned tomatoes and other canned items first? I tried this without draining them and it was really thin and soupy–not the thick chili I was expecting.
I don’t drain them, but if you want a thicker chili you can drain them so it will have less liquid content!
Such a great combination of flavors. I’m a throw what I’ve got into my chili kind of girl. No longer. This is my new chili.
I love to hear this! Thank you Judy! So glad you liked it :)
Love this chili!
Thank you, Greta!
I was taste it this is so delicious and impressed me keto lifestyle is vey good guidelines for the health.
I’m usually left disappointed by most of the chili recipes i’ve tried in the past. Typically the seasoning is off (I’d rather err on the side of OVER seasoned vs not enough) but i followed this recipe almost to a T (just used carrots instead of zucchini since i’m not a fan) and NO NOTES. This is amazing!! So glad I also decided against scaling this recipe to yield a smaller portion so now I can freeze the leftovers!! <3
Thank you, Sam! I’m so happy to hear this! Getting the seasoning right is such a huge deal to me, and I am so glad it was perfect for you!
I’ve commented on this before but have to comment again… this is amazing! One of my favorite meals is Tastes Lovely chili and biscuits. Delicious!
Thank you, Erin!! So honored that this is such a favorite for you! It means the world to me!
This came together quickly and easily with little mess and lots of satisfaction from the fam. We topped with avocado, cheddar, cilantro. We had lots of leftovers – saved half for the week and froze the rest. Definitely a keeper!
I am so happy to hear that this was quick, easy, and loved by all! With little cleanup, this is seriously a perfect meal! Love the toppings you chose, and super glad you were able to have leftovers for the week and more to freeze! Thank you, McKenzie!
My family LOVES this chili! It’s absolutely delicious!!! This is on our weekly meal plan!
Yea! I love this! So glad your whole family enjoys this recipe- the BEST!
Just finished making this. I added 3 chipotle chilis in adobe and it’s the perfect amount of heat. Can’t wait for dinner.
YUM! I hope you enjoyed it!
What’s the suggested serving size? Looking forward to making this next week!!
About 1.5 cups! Hope you love it!
SO GOOD . I never bother to write reviews but this is amazing!! Better than any non-keto chili I have ever made. I thought the vegetables would get all soggy but day 3 now and it’s still amazing. Love love love! I also added a chipotle pepper from the canned “chipotle peppers in adobe sauce”. So good. thank you !!
This makes me so happy! I am so glad you liked it so much- it’s totally one of my favorites!
