Smitty's Low-Carb Chili image

Finding variety can be brutal when on a low-carb diet! I miss rich stews and soups, particularly hearty and spicy ones, while trying to remain in ketosis. Threw this chili together out of some leftover pork loin and cauliflower rice, and was thrilled with the result. The cauliflower is for texture only - it has little effect on the taste.

Time 48m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ head cauliflower, broken into florets
2 teaspoons butter, divided
½ pound ground beef
½ pound pork loin, diced
1 yellow onion, diced
1 green pepper, diced
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes
½ pound smoked sausage, cut into chunks
1 (1.25 ounce) package chili seasoning mix
2 cups beef stock, or as needed
1 dash hot sauce, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
shredded Cheddar cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Place cauliflower florets in a food processor; pulse into rice-sized pieces.
  • Melt 1 teaspoon butter in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir cauliflower "rice" until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Cook and stir ground beef in the same pot until browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Cook and stir pork loin in the pot until juices run clear, about 5 minutes. Add to beef in the bowl.
  • Melt remaining 1 teaspoon butter in the pot over medium heat. Add onion and green pepper; cook and stir until soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir tomatoes, ground beef, pork loin, smoked sausage, and chili seasoning into the pot. Pour in enough beef stock to reach desired consistency. Bring chili to a boil; reduce heat to a simmer. Stir in cauliflower "rice."
