Wow!!!! It doesn't lie. The flavor is just incredible. I was worried at first because I tasted it before I let the flavors simmer and it was NOT good!
Let it simmer the whole time and wow- I was floored!!!! I'm not a real heat lover so I toned it down with some tomato juice.
I think you'll love it as much as I do!

The seasonings sound good. I've never done chili with pork in it. Do you think you could add beans? I love beans in my chili.
PS - I have chili in the crockpot right now, for supper!
mmmmm .... looks good !
Mari- Yes you could put beans in this. This will be perfect for Mark because he doesn't like beans, but it would be fine to add them.
Beer? I don't have that in the house. It sounds great. I just talked "chili" with Mari last night!
The beer is an interesting ingredient, and I have never used pork either but it sounds good..
Oh I wish I liked to cook like you do!! I tend to hide when dinner time comes!!
I think I'm going to try this tonight, I just hope that it has enough time to cook once I get home from work. We don't have any beer in the house, and of course I'm 2 months from being able to buy any, but I might give it a try without the beer and see what happens!
