Pork Chili

Step 1

In a large stockpot, cook bacon until crisp. Remove and reserve, then pour off all but 2 tablespoons fat from pot. Crumble bacon.

Step 2

Pat pork cubes dry and season with salt and pepper. Add additional oil to pot if needed. Brown pork in multiple batches and transfer with a slotted spoon to another plate.

Step 3

Add onion and cook, stirring, until softened. Add garlic and spices, then cook another minute. Return bacon and pork to pot with any accumulated juices. Add broth, jalapeños, bell peppers, tomatoes with chilis and tomatoes with purée and bring to a simmer.

Step 4

Simmer chili, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until pork is tender, about 1-1 1/2 hours. Stir in beans and cook an additional half hour.

Step 5

Serve chili with your choice of toppings.
