Follow The Directions

01

Step

To make the BBQ sauce: In a small saucepan, whisk together the tomato sauce, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, cider vinegar, onion powder, chili powder, and minced garlic. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside. (Total time: 10 minutes)

02

Step

To make the chili: Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the cubed pork shoulder and cook for about 5 minutes, or until browned on all sides, stirring occasionally to ensure even browning. Remove the pork from the saucepan and set aside. (Total time: 7 minutes)

03

Step

Add the chopped white onion and salt to the same saucepan. Cook for approximately 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is tender and translucent. (Total time: 4 minutes)

04

Step

Stir in the prepared BBQ sauce, browned pork, undrained diced tomatoes, black beans, kidney beans, and vegetable broth into the saucepan with the softened onions. Bring the mixture to a boil. (Total time: 3 minutes)

05

Step

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the pork is tender and the flavors have melded together beautifully. (Total time: 10 minutes)

06

Step

Ladle the Sweet BBQ Pork Chili into bowls. Garnish each serving with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley. Serve hot with a side of warm cornbread, if desired, to complete this comforting and flavorful meal. (Total time: 2 minutes)

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the BBQ sauce.
Feel free to adjust the amount of brown sugar to suit your sweetness preference.
If you don't have pork shoulder, you can substitute it with pork loin or even shredded chicken for a leaner option.
This chili tastes even better the next day! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
