Spicy Red Bean & Pork Chili

 Every couple of weeks, I spend one weekend making a variety of soups to cook & freeze in quart containers. Like this Spicy Red Bean & Pork Chili, a fantastic recipe to warm up with plus it freezes really well!

Spicy Red Bean and Pork Chili, a hearty and satisfying meal!

Lately, I’ve been on a soup binge. Seriously, all I do on weekends in chop mirepoix, simmer homemade stocks, puree soups, and taste test them for hours while they cook – making sure to bring a spoonful of whatever is cooking to the husband while he watches football. One of my favorite things about soups is that I don’t have to deal with making lunch everyday (working from home during the winter has its perks!) Instead of stopping for an hour to prepare lunch, I just bring out of one the frozen quart soup container early in the morning to thaw, and when I’m ready to eat lunch, I either pop it in the microwave or simmer it on the stovetop. Quick & easy, this Spicy Red Bean & Pork Chili will become a favorite, as it’s so filling and flavorful.

Thick and flavorful, packed with tender pork meat and red beans, this Spicy Red Bean & Pork Chili is amazing on it’s own when topped with fresh avocados, but even better when you serve it alongside steamed white long grain rice. A meal all on its own, and so easy to throw in the pot. It’s packed with spices and a special one from Spiceologist’s: Chile Margarita Rub, a spice blend made up from ancho peppers, aleppo peppers, orange peel and lime peel. Seriosuly, SO GOOD! 

You’ll note that in the recipe I mention how you can use a variety of any of the following pork cuts: pork shoulder, pork meat cubes, boneless pork chops, and even ground pork! Check out this chart of pork cuts I stumbled across over at Pork Be Inspired – it’s quite handy!

    You’re an organized woman and you’re right (I do the same…). This pork dish looks so tasty! Does it taste better once reheated (as potatoes stews)?
