Thanks Catherine. We eat a lot of pulled pork in my house and this is such an easy recipe to get dinner on the table quickly.
Well, there is no such thing as leftover pulled pork in our house, as we eat it all. But if there was, this would be a great way to use it.
I agree with you Dannii. We tend to eat up leftovers too. This one is super easy with leftover pork.
I LOVE a good leftover hack, and I’ve gotta say, this isn’t one. Because it’s a GREAT leftover hack- seriously, pulled pork and chili!? The perfect combo!!!
If cooking on the stove top is it 3-4 hours?
You can make this on the stovetop, just give the chili about an hour to give the beans and spices a chance to come together and meld the flavors.
