Chili

  1              large  onion -- diced
  1              stalk  celery -- diced
  1              bell pepper -- diced
  2              cloves  garlic -- minced fine
  1              pound  lean ground beef
  1              tablespoon  chili powder
  1              teaspoon  dried oregano
  1              teaspoon  ground cumin
     1/2        teaspoon  salt
     1/2        teaspoon  hot sauce
  1              can  tomatoes, canned -- (16 ounce) undrained
  1              can  kidney beans, canned -- (15 ounce) undrained

Cauliflower Mash

  8             cups  cauliflower flowerets -- one head
  4             cloves  garlic -- crushed and peeled
     1/3       cup  0% Greek Yogurt - Plain
  4             teaspoons  olive oil -- divided
  2             tablespoons  cornstarch
     1/2       teaspoon  salt
     1/8       teaspoon  pepper
  1             teaspoon  paprika

Chili

Cook the beef, onion, celery, pepper and garlic in the saucepan over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is brown; drain.

Stir in the chili powder, oregano, cumin, salt, pepper sauce and tomatoes with their liquid, breaking up the tomatoes with a spoon or fork. This distributes the tomatoes evenly throughout the chili and makes serving the chili easier.

Heat the mixture to boiling over high heat. Once mixture is boiling, reduce heat just enough so mixture bubbles gently. Cover and cook 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

Stir in the beans with their liquid. Heat to boiling over high heat. Once mixture is boiling, reduce heat just enough so mixture bubbles gently. Cook uncovered about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until desired thickness.

Set aside.

Preheat Oven to 350F

Cauliflower Mash

Place cauliflower florets and garlic in a steamer basket over boiling water, cover and steam until very tender, 12 to 15 minutes. (Alternatively, place florets and garlic in a microwave-safe bowl with 1/4 cup water, cover and microwave on High for 3 to 5 minutes.)

Place the cooked cauliflower and garlic in a food processor. Add buttermilk, 2 teaspoons oil, butter, salt and pepper; pulse several times, add cornstarch then process until smooth and creamy. Transfer to a serving bowl. Drizzle with the remaining 2 teaspoons oil and garnish with chives, if desired.

Cottage Pie

Spread the chili in a 2 quart greased casserole

Spread Cauliflower mash over chili
