Leftover Roast Pork Chili #ChiliCookOff

I love the "cook once, eat twice" idea of Menu Planning.  In this meal I use leftover roast pork and gravy combined with Mexican beer and spices to make a quick and delicious meal.

It is National Chili Month........

Ashley of Cheese Curd in Paradise invited us to join her in a Chili Cook Off to celebrate saying:

"The temps are coming down and it is time for chili! It is the perfect time of year to roll-up our sleeves and make the best of the best chili. Beef, pork, bean, turkey, chicken, vegetarian, and vegan are all welcome, BUT it must be chili."

Let's take a look at what everyone is dishing up today........

I often plan a roasted meat on Sundays at our house.  This gives me plenty of food for whoever shows up for Sunday Supper with leftovers that can be planned for another meal.  In this case, I made up this Rotisserie Pork Loin Roast, with the intentions of making two leftover meals, BBQ Pork Sandwiches and this wonderful Chili that I'm sharing today.

I often use leftovers to make chili and sometimes I use leftover chili to make second meals like these burritos or this chili mac. 

I think this recipe will become one of your favorite ways to use leftover roast pork.  Heck, you may even do as I and plan it that way, especially now that Fall is in full swing.  Perfect Chili weather!!

• 1 T. cumin
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 bottle Mexican Beer, I used Modelo

Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium high heat.  Add the onions, garlic and bell pepper.  Season with salt, pepper, chili powder and cumin. Add the bay leaf and cook for a few minutes, until vegetables start to soften. 
2. Stir in the beer, bring to a boil and cook for about 5 minutes until reduced by half.
3. Stir in the gravy and beans, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes.  Stir in the pork and cook for another 5 minutes before serving.
4. Divide between bowls and pass the cheese and corn chips for serving, if desired.
