Pork Chili

Ingredients

2 lbs Indiana Kitchen Pork Shoulder Boston Butt cut into 1-inch cubes

28 oz diced tomatoes drained

30 oz kidney beans drained

18 oz tomato paste

1 onion chopped

8 serrano peppers stemmed, seeded and diced—use fewer for less heat

8 cloves garlic minced

2 1/2 tbsp chili powder

5 cups chicken stock

1 tbsp olive oil

pepper

salt

Instructions

1. Heat oil in large pot. Season pork shoulder pieces with salt and pepper and cook over medium heat until meat is browned on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes.

2. Add "dry" items—the garlic, serrano peppers and onions, and cook until onion has softened, another 5 to 7 minutes. Then add chili powder, stir to coat ingredients, and cook a minute more.

3. Adjust heat to low and add remaining ingredients—the chicken stock, kidney beans, diced tomatoes and tomato paste and stir to combine. Cover and let simmer for 5 hours, stirring occasionally, until flavors have had plenty of time to blend. Enjoy.

4. Recipe Notes: Chili can be garnished with shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado slices or tortilla chips. This recipe can also be made in a crockpot with all ingredients cooked on low for 8 - 9 hours.
