    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 Quiet Power of Cooking for One

    Research on eating habits consistently finds that people who cook for themselves regularly — rather than relying on convenience foods or skipping meals — consume significantly more vegetables, less sodium, and fewer calories per meal than those who don’t. The act of cooking for oneself, even simply, is one of the strongest predictors of overall dietary quality across all demographic groups, making the solo meal one of the most health-positive cooking habits available regardless of what’s being cooked.

    Shrimp is one of the leanest high-protein seafood options available, with around 20 grams of protein per 3-ounce serving and very few calories.

    Fritos Is Dropping a Spicy Dill Pickle Flavor Twist — And the Timing Couldn’t Be Better

    Spicy snacks like these can actually have a surprising benefit — capsaicin, the compound responsible for heat in chili-based seasonings, has been linked to temporarily boosting metabolism and reducing appetite. That said, flavored chips are still high in sodium and refined carbs, so portion control matters. Measuring out a single serving before snacking — rather than eating from the bag — is the easiest way to enjoy the flavor without overdoing it at your next cookout or movie night.
