PORK****Pork and Black Bean Chili

By Unblond1

This was really good - Dan loved it and ate a whole serving.

n.b. It tastes pretty hot as it's cooking, but after a day in the fridge, it mellows out (and improves in flavour)

Ingredients

• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 12 oz. pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into 1/2" cubes
• 1 can Eden black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 can fire-roasted tomatoes
• 1/2 - 3/4 cup chicken broth - as needed
• 1 can green chilies, drained
• 1 tbsp. chili powder of choice - 1 1/2 tsp. each of chipotle and regular
• 2 tsp. ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp. salt

Preparation

Step 1

* Combine all ingredients in larger slow cooker. At this point, you can refrigerate it overnight and bring it out the following morning to start cooking.

* Cover and cook on low for 8 - 10 hours.

* Serve with 1 tablespoon of grated cheddar and 1 tablespoon of sour cream per serving, if desired. (I served it with cornbread for two, which was very good. I'm not sure how the cheese and sour cream would be)
