Pulled Pork Chili Recipe
Description
This chili starts with pork shoulder trimmed of excess fat and seasoned with chili powder, onion and garlic powders, coconut sugar, cumin, and salt. The pork is slow cooked with crushed tomatoes, minced onion and garlic, beef broth, and hoisin sauce in a crockpot for 10 hours on low, resulting in tender meat that easily shreds. After shredding, the pork is returned to the pot with cannellini beans and corn, heating through before serving.
The flavor profile balances savory spices with a touch of sweetness from coconut sugar and hoisin sauce. The slow cooking method breaks down the pork shoulder to create a rich, comforting texture suited to chilly meals or gatherings. Adding toppings like diced avocado, sour cream, and corn chips enhance texture and taste.
For substitutions, boneless pork roast of 2-2½ pounds works well, and leftover pulled pork can also be used by adjusting the amount to 1-1½ pounds.
