    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 Forgotten Art of Reading a Pan

    Cooking with a well-seasoned cast iron or carbon steel pan can contribute small but meaningful amounts of dietary iron to food, particularly when cooking acidic ingredients like tomatoes or citrus-based sauces.

    Air Fryer Steak Tips

    Sirloin is one of the leanest cuts of beef available, delivering high-quality complete protein, iron, zinc, and B12 that support energy, muscle health, and immune function without the saturated fat content of richer cuts. Air frying rather than pan-frying in butter keeps this preparation significantly leaner while still producing that deeply satisfying, caramelized crust—making these steak tips a genuinely smart choice for a protein-forward weeknight dinner.

    Red Lobster’s Endless Shrimp Is Back — The Same Deal the CEO Said Wouldn’t Return

    All-you-can-eat promotions can be a great value, but it’s easy to overdo it when the food keeps coming. Shrimp is actually one of the leanest proteins you can order — low in calories and high in protein — so leaning toward preparations like the Garlic Shrimp Scampi or the new Marry Me Shrimp over heavily breaded options like Walt’s Favorite is a smart way to enjoy the deal without the heaviness. Slowing down between rounds and drinking water throughout the meal also helps you tune into your hunger cues before ordering more.
