Ground Pork Chili Recipe
I’d like to thank The Ohio Pork Council for sponsoring one of my smothered crock pot pork chops recipe.
When it comes to chili, everyon has an opinion.
It’s funny how one person’s perfect chili might not be everyone’s favorite.
Sometimes I’m reluctant to proclaim a recipe my favorite, but, I’m going to throw caution to the wind this time and let you know that this ground pork chili is THE BEST CHILI EVER!
I’m not even kidding, y’all. I need you to make this and then report back to confirm my findings!
One of my favorite things about this tasty ground pork chili recipe is that extra-special flavor the pork gives the dish.
If you haven’t tried chili made with ground pork yet, you’re missing out!
I also love that this pork chili includes so many classic chili ingredients.
It’s not anything off the wall, but, this particular combination of tasty ingredients is simply special.
My dad is pretty picky about his chili, and he even agreed that this pork chili recipe is his new favorite!
If you give our yummy recipe a try, be sure to let me know in the comments below.

I’d wager the secret ingredient is a few chunks of 70 % cocoa dark chocolate!
Yes after completing step 1
Good chili but needed a lil more heat. I’ll adjust it next time but definitely making this again. Thank you for sharing!
I’m going to guess the secret ingredient is likely a couple pureed fried jalapenos!
I had 2 pounds of ground pork accidentally sent to me (it was a mistake though one of those meal plans) I was not going to make the mess they suggested sooooo….here we are. They didn’t want the perishable back, and I never had ground pork in my life. It was real good no leftovers 🥰 thank you!!!
This was excellent and very easy to make! Two changes we made that really put it over the top:
1) The pork, onions, and garlic were cooked indirect in a cast iron skillet with avocado oil on a Weber kettle. We put a few small chunks of mesquite to give it a rich smoky flavor.
2) We added some frozen roasted corn that we cooked on the grill this past summer, that was roughly a regular size can.
5-stars all the way!
Do you drain the beans??
Yes
Agree with Richard. Be amazing and share secret ingredient
I love the recipe. But being a ex chef of over 20 years do take her advice, but every one has a different idea of the outcome spicy or not makes the decision on extra spices or not
Dear Ronda, There is one thing that I do not understand about “your” recipe. If you have made a amazing discovery with a special ingredient from your own experiences cooking, then why not share with with the rest of us. We are not going to open a restaurant next door to you and sell chili, We are all in the same boat trying to accomplish the same goal, Creating a meal for our loved ones as our gift to our families as they try to do the same for us in different ways. I have known excellent cooks that have taken their “secrete recipes” to the grave and in my own mind have lost respect for them. Be the friend that passes on recipes and they will pass them on to their family and friends for generations to come. You will be loved. Signed, Please be the great cook that amateurs cooks look up to, Richard.
She never mentioned anything about withholding a special ingredient. She just mentioned that the combination of the mentioned ingredients worked together well.
Yes she did, Drew. It’s below. Rhonda is not the original recipe publisher, she just commented about how her recipe is similar. Crissy is the original recipe publisher. She loves Jesus. Rhonda, who knows.
I would also like to know what the secret ingredient is. Come on Rhonda. Let’s hear it.
Can we cook this in a crock pot? I would like to make it for our chili cook off. Thanks Eva
Do you drain the Ro-Tel and stewed tomatoes?
Go up a notch and add a green pepper to the recipe it will shock you how much more flavour it adds
I had some ground pork and while looking for a recipe I found this chili that peaked my interest. This chili was so delicious and will definitely be making it again. I had to make a couple of adjustments because I didn’t have the correct can, but it still came out great. Highly recommend!
I have used ground pork for a very long time, It is so good, and you and I are on the same program. I make my chili same as yours. Yum, Yum
I am no longer able to eat red meat and I miss eating my chili. This recipe is a Godsend to me. I can’t wait to cook it. Thanks so much.
Pork is actually a red meat.
I am amazed at how closely your recipe is to my own, including using one can of pinto and one can of kidney beans. And you are right. It’s the best. I use ‘better n bullion’ in place of the tomato sauce, and I add a small can of corn. There is also one other secret ingredient I add that puts this recipe over the top. Otherwise, we use the same ingredients. I made mine up myself and came up with virtually the same recipe. It’s the bomb!
Rhonda, now I’m curious about your secret ingredient… If you ever want to share, let me know!! :)
