Chipotle Chili with Ground Pork and Black Eyed Peas

Last week was quite the 7 days! For those who missed it, last week was Rub Week and I spent each of the 7 days sharing a rub that would be perfect for grilling season. The weather was awesome and the meals were fabulous! I made enough rub so that I had a medium size mason jar filled with each spice blend. Now, whenever I am grilling something, I can find out what rub everyone wants on their meat and make them all ‘to order’.

Here is the rundown of all the recipes from last week.

Day 1 – Island Spice Rub

Day 2 – Sweet and Smokey Chipotle Rub

Day 3 – Lemon Pepper Steak Rub

Day 4 – Cafe Mocha Rub

Day 5 – Curry in a Hurry Rub

Day 6 – Ragin’ Cajun Rub

Day 7 – Asian Five Spice Rub

Since Rub Week was 7 straight days of posting, I needed a couple days off to take a breather. I am happy to be back with a recipe, and I am so excited to share this one with you. We love chili in our house and I love mixing it up, trying different types of beans with a variety of meats.

Today’s chili has ground pork and black eyed peas. The chipotle powder and smoked paprika give the chili a wonderfully deep smokey flavour.

Garnish the chili with some fresh cilantro to give it a bright flavour enhancement!

As with any chili, this is great with crusty bread or nacho chips and grated cheddar cheese.
