Pulled Pork Chili

Once the cooler weather hits, Chili is always on the menu. I thought I would try something new and make chili with Pulled Pork and everyone loved it! The first time I made it, I was surprised at how much depth the smoky pork added compared to traditional ground beef chili. It was rich, hearty, and full of flavor in every bite.

Now, I love making this slow cooker recipe whenever we have extra pulled pork from a cookout or BBQ night or cook the pork right in with the chili ingredients. It’s the kind of meal that feels perfect for game days, cozy fall evenings, or anytime you want a bowl of comfort food that really sticks to your ribs.

Ingredients

• Boneless Pork Roast – You can also use a pork shoulder or pork butt for this recipe. If you choose a pork with bones, make sure to remove any from the chili when shredding.
• Garlic Cloves – Learn How to Mince Garlic Cloves
• Onion – Chop onion into small pieces
• Beans – We used Red Kidney Beans and Pinto Beans. Drain and rinse the beans before adding
• Simple Spices – Add in paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper
• Cayenne Pepper – I love the kick that the cayenne pepper gives to this recipe but if you are sensitive to spice, omit it from the recipe.
• Crushed Tomatoes – Gives the chili a tomato base
• BBQ Sauce – You can use store bought or learn how to make Homemade Barbecue Sauce
• Beef Broth – If you are out, you can use beef stock or water

How to Make Pulled Pork Chili

Step 1 – Place the pork roast in the bottom of a crock pot.

Step 2 – Top with the remaining ingredients. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-5 hours until the pork shreds easily.

Step 3 – Remove the pork from the crock pot. Shred the pork and then dice it (so that it will easily fix on a spoon).

Step 4 – Stir it back into the crock pot. Taste test and add more salt and pepper based on your preference. Serve while warm with your favorite chili toppings and enjoy!
