Comments
I tried this Pork Chili recipe with some friends. The overall consensus was that it was good, but to definitely drain the pork after cooking it (we did not do this since the recipe did not call for it). Adding some more spices also was suggested. It's a good recipe overall, I would recommend!
My family loves this recipe! I always make a double batch for our family of 5. I add extra oregano and cumin to taste and often stir in pumpkin puree or cubed butternut squash to give us our beta-carotene. Diced avocado is a nice topping for this chili.
