• Add the butter to the pot along with the diced peppers and onions. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened, add in the garlic and cook another minute.
• Add in the spices and cook, stirring, for an additional 30 seconds.
• Add the browned meat back to the pot along with the remaining ingredients. Reduce the heat to a low simmer, cover, and cook for 30 minutes.

INSTANT POT KETO CHILI

Steps:

• Preheat a 6- or 8-quart Instant Pot® on the saute setting until the display reads "hot" (see Cook's Note). Sprinkle the chuck roast and pork shoulder all over with 1 teaspoon of salt and a generous amount of pepper. Add 2 tablespoons oil to the pot, then add the chuck roast and brown on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Remove to a sheet pan or large plate.
• Add more oil to the pot, if necessary, and repeat the process with the pork shoulder, browning on all sides. Remove and set aside with the beef.
• Add the onion and poblano to the pot along with 1 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, with a wooden spoon and scraping the browned meaty bits from the bottom of the pot, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano and cook, stirring to evenly distribute and heat the spices until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomato paste and garlic and continue to cook, stirring, 2 minutes more. Add the tomatoes and beef broth and stir to combine, scraping the bottom with your spoon. Turn the pot off.
• Cut the chuck and pork shoulder into 3/4-inch pieces. Add to the pot along with the chorizo and stir to combine. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 30 minutes. After the pressure cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick release cycle is complete. Be careful of any remaining steam and unlock and remove the lid. Stir the chili and serve with toppings such as sour cream, shredded Cheddar and chopped cilantro.

KETO CHORIZO AND BEEF CHILI

Steps:

• Add the oil to a large pot. Add the sausage links and cook over medium heat until seared on all sides and cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the sausage from the pan and set aside to cool, reserving the oil in the pot. When the sausage is cool, use kitchen shears or a knife to cut the links into bite-size pieces.
• Add the onion and garlic to the pot with the reserved oil from the sausage. If your pot needs a little more oil, add more here. Stir and cook the onion and garlic over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Add the chili powder, paprika, oregano, cumin, salt, pepper, cayenne, and cinnamon and cook until fragrant. Add the ground beef and cook until the meat is brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Mix in the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, and tomato sauce, then add the bell peppers and cooked sausage. Cover and simmer over low heat for 1 hour. Add more salt to taste. Serve with sour cream and chopped cilantro (if using).
