Pork Chili - without beans.
January 17, 2022 • 0 comments
Chili is one of our family’s favorite meals. It does not take long to assemble the ingredients, but it does take a couple hours to simmer on the stove. Plan to cook it on a day that you will be around the house for 3-4 hours. You can make this chili with any ground meat, but I Iike the flavor ground pork adds. Remember that all ground meat is not created equal so get it from a source you can trust.

- Cook Time:
Ingredients
- (2 lbs) Ground Pork
- (To Taste) Celtic Sea Salt
- Large Onion
- (One clove) Garlic
- (3 - 5 Tablespoons depending on how spicy you like chili) Organic Chili Powder
- (2 - 3 T) Organic Paprika
- (6 oz can or 12 oz can of Tomato sauce) Tomato Paste
- (2.5 T) Ground Cumin
- (2 T) Avocado Oil
- Water
Directions
Links to the organic seasonings we use can be found on this page on our website.
- Dice the onions and sauté in pan with avocado oil or good lard (I use the container that I cook the chili in to reduce cleanup).
- Add the garlic (minced garlic works too) once the onions start to soften up
- Add the thawed ground pork to the pan with onions and garlic, salt it to taste (You can add more salt later).
- As you brown the ground pork, slowly break it apart into smaller pieces.
- After the pork is browned, add chili powder, paprika, and tomato paste (or tomato sauce) and cover it all with water and stir it well.
- Reduce heat and let it simmer to thicken. Usually a couple hours.
- 20-30 minutes before you are ready to eat, add the ground cumin.
- Serve with a hard cheese (do not use processed cheeses, use a cheese like cheddar, colby, etc.), sour cream, avocado, etc.
Tips
- I cook 5 batches of chili at once (i.e. 10 lbs of ground pork). It scales up easily and I can freeze it in pint or quart sized containers that my family can pull out of the freezer for a quick healthy meal.
- I cannot eat beans, but I know people who have added beans to this chili recipe with great results.
