Ingredients

2 tablespoons tomato paste

2 tablespoons vegetable oil 

2 tablespoons chili powder 

1 tablespoon ground cumin 

4 cloves garlic, minced 

2 onions, minced 

3 pounds boneless pork shoulder, trimmed of excess fat and cut into 1-inch cubes 

2 cups chicken stock

1 tablespoon chipotle adobo sauce 

1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more if needed

Two 15-ounce cans great Northern beans, drained and rinsed 

1 1/4 cups smoky BBQ sauce

1 cup sour cream 

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 

2 cups crushed pork rinds 

4 scallions, thinly sliced

Blue corn chips, for serving

Directions

  1. Mix together the tomato paste, vegetable oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic and onions in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover the top of the bowl with a very wet paper towel. Microwave for 5 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a slow cooker.
  2. Add the pork to the slow cooker along with the stock, adobo sauce, salt, beans and 1 cup of the BBQ sauce. Cook on high until the pork is cooked through and tender, 4 to 5 hours (or on low for 6 to 8 hours). Skim any excess fat off the top and discard. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, garlic powder and remaining 1/4 cup BBQ sauce.
  4. Top the chili with the sour cream mixture, pork rinds and scallions. Serve with the chips on the side or crumbled on top.

Made minor changes. Used pork blade steak that I initially seasoned and browned. I then sautéed the onion mixture in the same pan caramelizing the tomato paste and getting all the browned bits. Done when meat easily came off the bones . Used my own BBQ sauce and adjusted seasonings to taste. I am a sucker for a good BBQ chili. Good with a variety of beans.
