Greek Chili

I'm always looking for new ways to enhance a ketogenic diet.  With leftover grape leaves from the dolmades, I came up with the following.  This was delicious!

Greek Chili
3 lbs ground beef (grass fed, preferably)
1 large can of Contadina crushed tomatoes (with added garlic)
1 cup chopped grape leaves (or more if desired)
1 cup cauliflower rice (which is raw cauliflower pulsed in a food processor)
56 oz water
Seasonings to taste: salt, pepper, oregano, cayenne, chili powder, parsley, garlic, cumin

Brown beef until ... well, browned.  Tilt pan to allow the juices to puddle at the bottom while pushing the meat away from the puddle. Carefully put in a paper towel or two to soak up most of the grease.  The remaining grease stays.  Add the other ingredients and simmer for about 30 minutes.

I didn't have these items on hand, but it would add greatly to the finished product:
Optional garnish:  crumbled feta and/or finely chopped scallions.
