A comforting and flavorful pork roast chili simmered in a rich, spicy sauce, perfect for cozy dinners or gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2–3 lbs pork shoulder or pork butt, trimmed of excess fat
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium bell peppers, chopped (red and green work best)
  • 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 cups chicken stock (or beef stock for deeper flavor)
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (smoked for extra depth)
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to heat preference)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 can (15 oz) kidney or black beans, rinsed and drained (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, shredded cheese, avocado slices

Instructions

  1. Season the pork roast generously with salt and pepper.
  2. In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the pork roast and sear on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  4. Lower the heat to medium and add the diced onion and garlic. Cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
  5. Stir in the chopped bell peppers and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  6. Add the tomato paste and spices (chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne). Stir well to combine and toast the spices for 1 minute.
  7. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken stock, stirring to combine.
  8. Place the seared pork roast back into the pot, ensuring it’s submerged in the liquid.
  9. Cover and simmer on low heat for 2-3 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shredded. Stir occasionally.
  10. If using beans, stir them in during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  11. Remove the pork and shred with two forks. Return it to the pot and stir well.
  12. Ladle the chili into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro and your favorite toppings.

Notes

[‘Searing the pork locks in flavor and creates a delicious crust.’, ‘Simmering low and slow ensures tender and flavorful pork.’, ‘Adjust the spice level by reducing cayenne or chili powder.’, ‘Pre-cut vegetables to save time during preparation.’, ‘Beans are optional for a meat-focused chili.’]
