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.

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:
