Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 pounds Ground Beef
  • 2 tablespoons Cumin
  • 2 tablespoons Chili Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Salt
  • Beef Broth or Water (quantity as needed for desired consistency)
  • 1 Egg (optional)
  • Smoked Gouda Cheese, grated or sliced thin

Instructions

  1. Brown the Beef: Place a skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks, ensuring it’s evenly cooked through.
  2. Add Spices: Stir in the cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and salt. Mix thoroughly so the beef is fully coated with the spice blend.
  3. Add Liquid and Simmer: Pour in beef broth or water, adjusting the amount according to how thick or soupy you want the chili. Stir well and allow the mixture to simmer for several minutes to meld the flavors.
  4. Add Egg (Optional): If using, crack an egg directly into the chili and gently stir it in to cook slightly, adding extra richness.
  5. Serve: Spoon the chili into bowls while hot and top generously with grated or sliced smoked Gouda cheese. Serve immediately for best flavor.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of beef broth or water to make the chili thicker or thinner.
  • For more heat, increase the cayenne pepper to taste.
  • The egg is optional but adds a nice texture and protein boost.
  • Use smoked Gouda for a rich, smoky flavor that complements the spices beautifully.
  • This recipe is naturally low-carb and keto-friendly due to no beans or sugar added.
