Why This Dish Is Amazing

This dish brings together the smoky sweetness of BBQ flavors with hearty pork and rich spices. It’s comforting, filling, and perfect for any season. The balance of savory and sweet makes it a crowd-pleaser.

Cooking Tips You Should Know

- Brown the pork well to develop deeper flavor before adding liquids.
- Let the chili simmer low and slow to allow flavors to meld fully.
- Adjust the sweetness and spice levels to your taste by adding more BBQ sauce or chili powder.

Step 1

Make the BBQ sauce: combine the tomato sauce, brown sugar, mustard, vinegar, chopped onion, chili powder, and garlic in a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer gently for about 5 minutes, stirring now and then. Once it's ready, take it off the heat and set it aside.

Step 2

Heat some oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook it for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until it’s nicely browned all over. Scoop the pork out and set it aside for now.

Step 3

In the same pan, toss in the chopped onion with a pinch of salt. Cook it for around 4 minutes until it softens up, stirring occasionally. Then stir in the BBQ sauce you made earlier, the browned pork, undrained tomatoes, black beans, kidney beans, and broth.

Step 4

Bring everything to a boil, then cover the pan, reduce the heat, and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring now and then, until the pork is tender and all the flavors come together.

Step 5

Serve the chili warm with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh parsley on top. If you like, warm up some cornbread on the side to complete the meal.

Serving Inspiration

Serve with warm cornbread or over steamed rice for a complete meal. Top with shredded cheese, sour cream, and fresh cilantro to add extra texture and freshness. A side of pickled jalapeños can add a nice kick.

Proper Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of water if it thickens too much. This chili also freezes well for up to 3 months.

Added a pinch less salt and it worked well. Texture was great but I think less sugar next time for me.
