Drescription

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 onions, minced
  • 3 pounds boneless pork shoulder, trimmed of excess fat and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 tablespoon chipotle adobo sauce
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more if needed
  • two 15-ounce cans great northern beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 1/4 cups smoky bbq sauce
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 cups crushed pork rinds
  • 4 scallions, thinly sliced
  • blue corn chips, for serving

Directions

  1. Mix together the tomato paste, vegetable oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic and onions in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover the top of the bowl with a very wet paper towel. Microwave for 5 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a slow cooker.
  2. Add the pork to the slow cooker along with the stock, adobo sauce, salt, beans and 1 cup of the BBQ sauce. Cook on high until the pork is cooked through and tender, 4 to 5 hours (or on low for 6 to 8 hours). Skim any excess fat off the top and discard. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, garlic powder and remaining 1/4 cup BBQ sauce.
  4. Top the chili with the sour cream mixture, pork rinds and scallions. Serve with the chips on the side or crumbled on top.
