Here's a recipe from the Low Carb Luxury recipes. I have never made it, but it's one I clipped and saved.

I'm not sure about the carb count though. Without figuring it out it looks low. Perhaps before you make it you might want to do your own calculations, just to be sure.

If you do make it, let us know your results.

I found a very good way to make a quick spicy chili in the crockpot. I used Rotel's Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilis in the variety called Chili Ready. It was 30 carb grams per 14 oz can, but there are not any other carbs to add to the recipe, unless you add more onions.

I browned 1 1/2 lbs of round steak cubed. I added the cubed steak and can of tomatoes to the crock pot. I added a few diced onions, a dash of cayenne flakes, and a dash of whole cumin, but it would have been fine without. I cooked it on high for 2 hours. I think more time on high would have been OK. The tomatoes have a llittle starch in them, but the resulting chili is still thinner in texture than traditional chili. I find it acceptable in texture and the taste was Tex-Mex traditional. I suggest grated sharp cheddar on top.

It makes 4 big servings.

I have a good recipe:

1.5kg of Minced Beef ( or other minced meat)
1 can of chopped tomatoes*
1 onion
6 cloves of garlic
1 Bell Pepper (sweet pepper)
2-3 fresh chillis or 1 teaspoon of chilli powder
1 glass of red wine
pepper and salt as desired

fry the meat ( in small portions, otherwise it cooks) until it is brown, add onion and garlic and chillis. Fry for another 2 mins, then add sweet pepper tomatoes and wine. Cook for about 1hr, or until reduced to desired consistency.

Works out at about 6-8 carbs per serving (depending on size of servings)

* I use Heinz Canned Tomatoes, but checking fitday.com and comparing it with the nutrition information on the can, american canned tomatoes seem to contain more carbs than ours. Not sure why. In the UK most food manufacturers state the carb information quite accuratly ( I have seen food which contained 0.1g of carb...) allthough fibre is stated extra.

You might want to try adding some dried tofu. It takes on the flavor of whatever you cook it in. I had some in a batch of no-bean chili and they tasted like beans. I was surprised that it was tofu. Sorry, I don't have the recipie.
