Pulled Pork Chili

This was really a recipe that just kept growing. It's called add what you can find, when the pantry is extremely low! LOL  It started out as a pot of beans with some left over pork for seasoning. Then I thought to add some chili seasonings, and Pulled Pork Chili was done!

I started with one pound of dried kidney beans. I soaked them in hot water for a couple of hours. I rinsed them and put them in my stock pot with plenty of water or stock to cover them. I added some dried minced onion, garlic powder and salt & pepper. Cook them for a few hours or until nice and tender. I shredded some of the left over pork loin roast. and added it to the pot.

It was yummy on it's own!!!

I had a couple of packets of chili seasoning mix in the pantry, so I added one packet. The pork already had tons of flavor, so I really didn't have to add anything else. I did add some Colby/Jack Cheese and sour cream for garnish! Throw in some cornbread or crackers, and it's a one bowl comfort meal!

Ingredients:

1 lb dried Red Kidney Beans

4 cups water, or stock

1/2 tsp dried, minced onion

1 tsp minced garlic, or 1/2 tsp garlic powder

salt and pepper to taste

1-2 cups of shredded or pulled pork

4 tablespoons of chili powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 teaspoon dried oregano

2 teaspoons paprika

2 tablespoons ground cumin
salt and pepper to taste

Rinse and drain the beans several times. Add the water, onion, garlic and salt and pepper to a large pot and cook for a few hours or until beans are tender. Add the seasoning and stir until dissolved and mixed well. Stir in the pork and heat through. That's it! You're done!
