Chili Colorado

SUBMITTED BY: Ron Shepherd      PHOTO BY: POLARBEE

"This is a rich, mild chili and pork stew. It is one of my favorite things, which I like to eat from a bowl with plenty of saltine crackers and a salad on the side. It's also good served over rice or chili beans."

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless pork, cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon bacon drippings, or vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 (4 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • 3 cups water

DIRECTIONS

  1. Place 3 tablespoons flour in a plastic bag. Add pork and shake to lightly coat with flour. Set aside.
  2. Heat bacon drippings and vegetable oil in a Dutch oven over medium high heat. Add pork and cook until meat is evenly browned, about 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon flour, and cook 3 minutes. Stir in the onion, tomato sauce, chile powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium low and simmer until pork is just falling apart, about 1-1/2 to 2 hours.

I used a leftover pork roast, which worked beautifully. My son went back for seconds saying, "Man, this chili is good." I like mine with a bit more fire, so next time I may add a pinch of cayenne. I think it could use a little more garlic, too. I served it over rice, with pinto beans, then the chili on top. A great way to use left over pork!

I don't think it gets any easier than this. Full of great flavor! The heat level is just right, too. It has some punch but doesn't overpower the flavor of the meal. I served it with brown rice, whole wheat tortillas, and sour cream. My husband went back for thirds.
