Instructions

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart, until browned, about 5–6 minutes. Remove beef from the skillet without draining.
Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and cook until fragrant, about 1–2 minutes.
Return the ground beef to the skillet.
Add the tomato paste, sugar-free ketchup, beef broth, sweetener, chili powder, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
If the mixture becomes too thick, add additional beef broth one tablespoon at a time.
Remove from heat, portion evenly, and serve hot.

Notes

Onion can be omitted to further reduce carbs.

Ground turkey or chicken can be substituted for ground beef.

Add smoked paprika or sugar-free BBQ sauce for flavor variations.

Serve on keto buns, in lettuce wraps, or over cauliflower rice.
