I love making chili not only is it always fool proof beginner cooks can cook it advanced cooks love to cook it too you can incorporate whatever flavors you love use what you've got in the pantry but today - we're going to cook a smokey pork bacon white bean chili pork loin is great for this recipe because we're going to use about half of this and cube it the other half we can use for things like fajitas the peachy pork picante or salads or stews - whatever we want throughout the week cut your pork loin in about half inch slices first and when your looking for pork and you want a lean product loin equals lean so when your shopping - look for the word loin this is how much I'm going to cube and use for my chili the other half I'm going to store in a plastic bag put it my fridge and use it for other recipes throughout the week I'm going to cut these into three quarter inch cubes it doesn't have to be perfect however it is nice to have a consistent size so that everything easily cooks I've already cooked the bacon in the skillet so I've left my bacon grease I'm going to add half of a white onion I already diced the onions have been sautéing for about two minutes I'm going to add my pork I'm going to stir this so it's evenly distributed on the pan I'm going to let it cook for about 6 to 8 minutes my pork looks done - it's been about 8 minutes so now I'm ready to add the remaining ingredients add 2 tablespoons of chili powder paprika add 2 cans of tomatoes these are diced tomatoes add water stir this around bring it up to a boil - reduce it to a simmer let it simmer for 35 to 45 minutes so all those ingredients get incorporated it's been about 35 minutes now I'm ready to add my remaining ingredients the pork is tender and tender pork makes any dish delicious add 2 cans of white beans add 2/3 of cooked bacon I want to save the last third for my garnish I'm going to stir that and cook it for a little bit more and we're almost done you're going to season your chili with salt and pepper I always start with a couple pinches when you're all done - you can decide if you want to add more now that this is cooked through I'm going to serve it with a little bit of sour cream some green onions and our remaining bacon I love chili! and I am so excited to enjoy this! and chili always taste great with a little bit of extra garnish and this time I'm going to use a little sour cream and again - our left over bacon our green onions and now it's time to enjoy! properly cooked pork is tender and juicy it makes every dish delicious!!
