Mmm Monday....Black Bean and Pork Chili

We just bought a whole hog from a local farmer and had it processed. Now, we have awesome ham steaks, bacon, roasts and sausage!  Thanks to a generous Christmas gift we received a 7.1 cubic feet deep freezer. Now, its full of awesome pork!

I found the pork, be inspired website and it led me to a Black Bean and Pork Chili recipe.

I modified it a little and included the modification below.  I made this for 2 adults, 1 preschooler.

This went well with the chilly weather we are having in the Midwest!

 

Ingredients

1/2 pound Ground Pork
1/2 medium onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin 
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can of corn, drained
1/2 cup water
2 teaspoons dried oregano, crushed
1/2 teaspoon Chipotle powder
1 teaspoon of Crushed Black Pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon lime juice

Cooking Directions

Coat heavy, large covered pot with nonstick cooking spray. Heat over medium-high heat. Add pork, onion, garlic and cumin. Cook and stir until pork is brown and vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. Drain off fat.
