    Winter is the time when we love chili... which may sound strange given we are from Texas where chili cook-offs happened all year long! Chili is comfort food for the whole family, except for my picky one :-). 

    If you are looking for another great family-friendly recipe with ground pork, you will want to try this Ground Pork Fried Rice recipe too!

    If you love ground pork as much as we do, you will want to check out all of my family-friendly ground pork recipes!

    Recipes with ground pork:

    Our family loves cooking with ground pork. All you need is one pound of ground pork, and you can make a hearty dinner quickly. Give ground pork a try in this Paleo Ground Pork Lettuce Wraps recipe or this Italian Ground Pork Meatballs recipe. The whole family will love trying these new recipes.

    The spice comes from fire-roasted hatch chiles. If you love hatch chiles as much as we do...I have a lot of fabulous gluten free hatch chile recipes that you will love. You will also find a great tutorial and video on how to fire-roast hatch chiles. I am not including that all here or this post will get very long.

    Are you ready to try this easy ground pork chili recipe? I love using my Cast Iron Dutch oven to cook chili in.

    Recipe step by step directions:

    browning ground pork and onion in a pot

    Step 1: Add oil to a pot and heat on medium heat for 2 minutes. Add the chopped onion and ground pork. Cook until the meat is browned. 

    adding all chili ingredients to the cooked ground pork

    Step 2: Add the rest of the ingredients to the cooked pork.

    Step 3: Bring to a boil then cover and simmer on low heat for 30 minutes. The longer this cooks, the more the flavors merge and blend together!

    Step 4: Enjoy! You can top your chili with sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, scallions, chives, guacamole...or anything you like!

    Tips and Recipe FAQ:

    Can you use different meat to make this chili?

    You can make this chili recipe with any meat you like...ground turkey, bison, beef, chicken, or even vegan meat.

    Can you make this chili vegan?

    If there is a non-meat vegan substitute that you really enjoy, of course, feel free to use it instead of the meat in this recipe.

    What can you serve with this chili recipe?

    I love to serve gluten free rolls with this chili so I can dip them in to get all of the juices. Try these Paleo Biscuits or this Gluten Free Focaccia Bread.

    How long will this ground pork chili keep fresh?

    This chili will keep up to 4 days in the refrigerator. Store it in an air-tight container.

    Can you freeze this chili?

    You can easily freeze this chili. Thaw in the microwave or stovetop.

    If you love chili, this Padron Pepper Chili is pretty tasty too!

          Thanks for the recipe. Though it can be challenging to find all the ingredients here in China, I really wanted a taste of home during these cold winter days. Plus, my mother in law only eats pork, so perfect recipe!

          I am so glad you enjoyed it Bryan. I have friends who have worked in China in the past and they said the same. I wish you all the best 🙂
