    Ingredients

    • 2 lbs smoked pulled pork

    • 2 tbsp olive oil

    • 1 medium onion, diced

    • 1 large green bell pepper, chopped

    • 3 cloves garlic, minced

    • 1 15 oz can crushed tomatoes

    • 1 15 oz can kidney beans, drained

    • 1 15 oz can black beans, drained

    • 2 tbsp chili powder

    • 1 tsp cumin

    • 1 tsp smoked paprika

    • 1 tsp salt

    • 0.5 tsp black pepper

    • 1 tsp cayenne pepper

    • 2 cups beef stock

    Directions

    • In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and chopped bell pepper, cooking for about 5 minutes until softened.
    • Add minced garlic to the pot and cook for an additional minute until fragrant, making sure not to burn the garlic.
    • Stir in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper, cooking for another minute to release the spices’ flavors.
    • Add the smoked pulled pork to the pot, stirring well to combine with the spices and vegetables.
    • Pour in the crushed tomatoes and beef stock, then add the drained kidney and black beans, stirring everything together.
    • Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce heat to low and let simmer uncovered for about 3 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
    • Taste the chili and adjust seasoning if necessary. For more heat, add additional cayenne pepper to taste.
    • Serve the smoked pulled pork chili hot, with your choice of toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, or chopped green onions.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

    The Last Days of Summer: How to Eat Before It’s Gone

    The final weeks of summer produce represent a nutritional opportunity that is worth acting on specifically — because the peak-season produce that is most abundant and most flavorful right now is also at its highest concentration of vitamins, antioxidants, and phytonutrients. Research on produce nutritional quality consistently finds that the gap between peak-season and out-of-season nutritional content is widest in the summer vegetables and fruits — tomatoes, peaches, corn, peppers — that define the late summer abundance. Eating these foods now, and preserving them in forms that retain their nutritional value, is both a culinary and nutritional investment in the months that follow.
