Ingredients

• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced

• 1 tablespoon chili powder, medium-hot
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
• 1 small jalapeno pepper, seeded, chopped (don't touch seeds with bare hands) or 1 canned chipotle pepper in adobo, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon table salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 pounds lean pork loin, trimmed of fat and cut into 1-inch chunks
• 15 ounces canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 15 ounces canned kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 15 ounces canned pinto beans, drained and rinsed
• 8 ounces tomato puree, (Can use a can of diced tomatoes whizzed in a food processor for the puree)
• 29 ounces canned diced tomatoes, with green pepper, celery and onion, undrained
• 6 ounces canned tomato paste

Preparation

Step 1

* Combine onion, garlic, carrots, chili powder, oregano, jalapeno, salt and pepper in a 5-quart (or larger) slow cooker; stir. Add remaining ingredients; stir again.

* Cover and cook on HIGH setting for 6 to 8 hours. Yields about 1 cup per serving.

Notes

* We start cooking the chili at a HIGH setting so the ingredients quickly reach a safe temperature. You can reduce the heat to LOW after 3 to 4 hours, if you prefer.
