Chunky Chipotle Pork Chili
My leftover pulled pork chili recipe is a busy cook's dream. Make it ahead and reheat later—it's even better the second day. —Peter Halferty, Corpus Christi, Texas

Reviews
What a great way to use up leftover shredded pork, and a great way to make chili that isn't my usual beef version. I made it exactly as written, and my husband and I loved it. The heat was a little too much for the kids, but they still ate it.
This came together SO quickly on a work night! My husband and 2 sons gave it a thumb's up. The problem is there was not near enough of it for the 4 of us using the recipe as written. Not everyone got a second helping, so next time I will double the proportions. I happened to find a jar of chipotle-flavored salsa on my kitchen carousel so I killed 2 birds with 1 stone. I used a container of Kroger Pork Carnitas that is pre-cooked. I added some cayenne pepper for the guys and I had some chopped red onion and shredded Mexican cheese mixture available as condiments. Will repeat--a nice change from regular chili.
I loved this chili! It is more of a hearty chili. Very flavorful and comes together quickly on a cold weekday night. We added an extra 1/2 cup of broth but could have easily added another cup. My husband like to serve his chili over rice so the meatiness worked out well. Spice level was good with the 1 decent size pepper.
I made this for 2 of us and it only made enough for 3 for dinners. Very good and had a good kick from the spices and chipotles. It didn't have enough liquid but you can add. Per the photo...didn't look anything alike. It says 'chop' not chunks in the directions.
I tried to really rate this but was unable to do so--too hot to be comfortable to eat
WONDERFUL!!!
WONDERFUL!! It put this in the crock pot.
Had this for dinner tonight. It was delicious. I didn't have leftover pork so used pork cubed steak, cut into small pieces. I dredged the pieces in flour and browned the meat before adding to the rest of the ingredients. I had 12 oz of meat which seemed like a lot so I added the whole can of beef broth and a can of black beans. Added cilantro and shredded cheese instead of sour cream. I could have eaten the whole pot myself.
This looks awesome!
Just finished off the pot..amazing! You might want to double this recipe! We added a few more chipotle peppers since our family likes it hot!
