For a richer flavor, consider browning the ground beef and pork loin in separate batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. Adjust the amount of chili seasoning and hot sauce to suit your preferred level of spice. Feel free to add other low-carb vegetables like diced bell peppers or mushrooms for added nutrients and flavor. If you don’t have smoked sausage, you can substitute with other types of sausage or even bacon for a smoky flavor. For a thicker chili, simmer uncovered for a longer period to allow some of the liquid to evaporate. For a creamier chili, stir in a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt just before serving.
