Winter weather, an ever-hungry boyfriend, and the Super Bowl: ย three reasons I felt the timing was just right for another chili recipe!
ย
This one is just as easy & just as Paleo as my good ol’ย “All American Crockpot Chili”,ย but brings a little “I’m ready for summer time” flair with sweet pineapple cooked in to that savory base.
ย
In fact, this one is Whole30 compliant as written in the recipe- ย no need for changes!
ย
ย
I’ve been loving ground pork for something different, as it has a milder, sweeter flavor than our usual grass-fed ground beef. ย Pork is also super inexpensive, which I certainly don’t mind! ย
ย
Paired with a rich tomato sauce, juicy pineapple, & the right spices mixed in, this sweet-savory dish has that perfect BBQ flavor without any sweeteners.
ย
ย
Give this one a try, and let your crock pot do the work. ย Perfect with plantain chips for dipping or scooped over a baked potato, this is one to please a crowd!
ย
Enjoy~

Calories: 447kcal
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 white onion, chopped*
- 1 red or green bell pepper, chopped*
- 1 1/2 cups chopped pineapple
- 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
- 15 oz can tomato sauce
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tbsp ginger puree
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp dried onion
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Heat the avocado oil over medium-high in a large skillet.ย Add the ground pork, and cook until no longer pink.
- Toss the pork and all remaining ingredients into a slow cooker, and give it a good stir to combine.

Strange Party
April 4, 2017 at 3:09 amI wish there were more places like this, because it was simply too amazing for words. I came here with my boyfriend the other night, and it was absolutely fabulous. The use of wood throughout the Chicago event space adds a very warm and inviting feel to venue.
