Thick, Savory Pork & Bean Chili image

This is a dish that I made when we had nothing in the house to cook, and a roast I forgot to put in the crock pot that morning. It turned out savory and filling. It was an instant favorite :) The couscous can absolutely be omitted or change to potatoes (with some alteration of course).

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pound(s) pork roast, cubed
2 tablespoon(s) cooking oil
1 teaspoon(s) each salt & pepper
1/2 teaspoon(s) thyme, dried
2 cup(s) baby carrots - chopped
1 - medium tomato - chopped
1 bag(s) frozen corn
4 cup(s) beef broth
8 ounce(s) can tomato sauce
1 can(s) black beans
3/4 cup(s) couscous - optional
1/4 cup(s) cornstarch and enough water to make a slurry

Steps:

  • On med-high heat, heat oil and then add pork roast, salt/pepper & thyme. Sear meat until mostly done stirring to avoid burning.
  • Add carrots, tomato and frozen corn. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the corn is hot and the carrots begin to soften.
  • Add tomato sauce and beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes (depending on how you like your carrots cooked).
  • Open and drain black beans (no need to rinse). Prepare cornstarch and water in a measuring cup, set aside.
  • When carrots are almost to your liking, add black beans & couscous and cook 3 minutes.
  • Add cornstarch/water mixture and stir until desired consistency.
  • Enjoy!
