The Best Chili Recipe:

This I love Chili! It’s always been a favorite food of mine. I grew up in Cincinnati, and we have a thin no bean chili that I love.

When moving away I have tried several different types, and my husband loves chili loaded with beans and veggies.

This Pulled Pork Chili is one of the best chili recipes I have ever made.

When my husband spends the day smoking some pork shoulders and butts, we have a lot of meat that I can use for different recipes. Well, this chili is one that I made, and we loved it.

How to make Pulled Pork Chili:

This recipe is picking up from after the pork is smoked and cooked. We use our Smoked Pork Butt and then make the chili on the stovetop.

Add all ingredients to the pot and bring to a boil over a medium heat. Simmer on low for 30 more minutes and enjoy! Serve with your favorite chili toppings!

Ingredient Notes:

  • Oil – I used Extra Virgin Olive Oil for this recipe.
  • Pulled Pork: This needs to be cooked already.
  • Diced Onion and Minced Garlic
  • Chili Pinto Beans: I used canned pinto beans in chili sauce.
  • Diced Tomatoes and Tomato Puree
  • BBQ Sauce: Use your favorite brand.
  • Seasoning: Chili Powder, Cumin, Salt, and Pepper

Step Two – Over medium/high heat bring chili to a boil. Then reduce heat and cover.

Recipe Tip

Do not boil too long as you do not want to boil off all your liquid. Your chili will become very thick and dry if that happens.

Step Three – Allow to simmer on low/medium heat for 30 minutes.

Step Four – Allow to set for 5-10 minutes before serving.

I served mine with sour cream, shredded cheese, and green onions.

What should I top my Pulled Pork Chili with?

You can top this with whatever your favorite chili toppings are. Here are some good ideas.

  1. Sour Cream – cools down any of the heat in the chili.
  2. Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  3. Green Onions
  4. Jalapenos

Can I make this in the slow cooker?

Yes, you sure can make this in the slow cooker.

Cooked Pork: Because we are already using a fully cooked and smoked pork shoulder, you will only need to cook this in the slow cooker for about 4 hours.

Add all your ingredients to the slow cooker and cook on high.

Uncooked Pork: If you are going to cook it with an uncooked pork shoulder you will want one that is about 2 to 3 lbs.

Add all your ingredients to the slow cooker then cook on high for 6-8 hours until the pork is tender and can be pulled apart easily.
