πŸ’¬ Q&A: Carnivore Chili Edition

Q: Can I use only ground beef?
A: Yes! It’s budget-friendly and still delicious. The stew beef just adds texture.

Q: What if I don’t have bone broth?
A: Use water, or mix in a bit of beef fat for flavor.

Q: Can I meal prep this?
A: Definitely. It reheats well and can be frozen for up to 2 months.

Q: Is cheese allowed on carnivore?
A: Strict carnivore = no. Liberal carnivore or keto-carnivore = yes, if you tolerate dairy.

Q: No tomatoes??
A: Nope β€” this version is zero carb, so no tomato sauce, no beans, no onions, etc.
