Pulled Pork Chili Variations

As always, feel free to customize our recipes to your liking. Here are a few ideas for this pork chili recipe: Sweet Corn: Sweet corn is a great balance for savory flavor. Use canned corn or slice it fresh using our grilled corn on the cob recipe. Diced Green Chiles: Green chiles add incredible depth of flavor without adding a ton of spice. Pork: We used a 2.5-3 pound pork shoulder butt roast for this chili. Feel free to use pork butt or pork shoulder – both work great! If you use a larger piece of pork, start with 45 minutes on high pressure and then add time from there in 5-10 minute increments. The goal is for the pork to be easily shredded.

Storage

We love leftover pork chili and often find it tastes even better on day 2. Let it cool completely, store in an airtight container, and refrigerate for up to 5 days. Chili thickens as it cools, so you may need to add a splash of water to thin it out a bit once it’s reheated.
