This chili is super easy because I use leftover pulled pork from my favorite Smoked Pork Butt. Then toss it in my favorite dutch oven and let it simmer with a few spices and other ingredients. It’s the perfect hearty dinner for cold nights!

When I checked my freezer for pulled pork I found some leftover Spiral Ham with Honey Glaze and Smoked Brined Turkey. Good thing we love to repurpose leftovers!

Anyway, I was looking at that leftover pulled pork and thought hmmm…. Pulled Pork Chili, now that sounds delicious! Another great recipe using pulled pork are these easy Pulled Pork Taquitos!
