6. Meaty Keto Chili

It's just not football without a chili simmering on the stove...the smells of the spices and meat flooding the house. My husband loves this one so much he makes it at least twice a month!

Meaty Keto Chili

This is absolutely the best keto chili on the internet.

A few of the techniques I am using here I learned from my obsessive “Americas Test Kitchen” watching. We bloom the spices to bring out the flavor and we brown the ground beef in spices to pull a meatier flavor out.

This recipe does also work in a Crock-Pot; But it tastes way better if you take the time to follow the steps 🙂

9. Low Carb Margarita

Instead of enjoying a few beers, choose a low carb margarita instead. It pairs perfectly with all the keto football appetizers above.

To make this a non alcoholic low carb margarita, simply omit the tequila.
