It's fairly common to find a recipe that includes chicken or turkey or a nice meatless meal gracing our dinner table. If I had my way we would have a whole lot more meatless meals at dinner time. Unfortunately, the rest of my family is less than thrilled with my "Let's go vegetarian!" dreams. Darn! And so I find myself on the fence once again. I ran across this rich and hearty pulled pork chili recipe and I surrendered. I admit it, I'm weak and completely lacking in self control. ;D
Honestly, I think I liked the flavor of this chili more than the rest of the crew. It has a hint of sweet smokiness. It's rich and full of marvelous flavor.
I'm still all for adding more meatless meals to our diets. I believe limiting meat is healthier and every bit as satisfying. Balance. It's all about balance.

Happy Friday! This sounds wonderful!
Yum! My kind of meal...and it looks fantastic too, Happy Friday too!
Mmm... coffee, cumin and honey? Wonderful spices for the pork. I definitely could do this with or without meat.
Love that this uses pork tenderloin! And yes, slow cookers and the best!
Looks so good! I love meat too and really should exercise more self control as age is catching up pretty fast!
Great flavors and I love slow cooker recipes they make life so much easier.

I am all about the vegetarian meals but I have to admit that my one meat weakness is pulled pork. This is a good reminder htat it's been way too long since I've made it! This sounds so good!
I would like a lot more meatless meals too, but my fiance would not really go for it. He would love something like this!
i'm with you, i'm always trying to do more meatless meals, and my husband is not on board!
i LOVE this chili though, the flavors sound amazing.
I wish I could pull the meatless meals off on my husband but I get that 'look' when I suggest it. But this chili does look and sound fabulous!
I love slow cooker meals, the meat is always so juicy and tender! Can't wait to try this out :)
love the idea of adding coffee! I need to try that sometime!
Happy Friday indeed! I'm with you on eating more meatless meals. I don't think my husband would go for it though. I do find that I really look forward to anything with pork though and this pulled pork chili looks really special.
I am soooooo loving the sounds of this recipe!! Yes, I am. It is on my list! Thank you so much!
You're right...balance is the key! I love meatless meals too, but meat in moderation is never a bad thing. I love the sound of this pulled pork chili! :)
Pulled pork is so freaking great. You made me hungry for it now... maybe I'll get ambitious and go to the grocery store to buy the ingredients!
The chili looks really good. I never thought to use a pulled pork as a foundation. This is a great idea.
Have a great weekend.

Oh yum! I just made some rolls that would go perfectly with this slow pulled pork. Thank you for sharing! I hope you have a happy week. Your posts bring me joy...thank you for being you!
This is going in my crockpot Tuesday morning. It's going to be rainy and cold and this will be the perfect dish. I wanted to cook soup or a good casserole and came to you "first".
I'm with you on the meatless wishes, but receive no cooperation from hubby......
