This is a rich, mild chili and pork stew. It is one of my favorite things, which I like to eat from a bowl with plenty of saltine crackers and a salad on the side.

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 1 ½ pounds boneless pork, cut into 1 inch cubes

  • 1 tablespoon bacon drippings, or vegetable oil

  • 3 cups water

Directions

  1. Place 3 tablespoons flour in a plastic bag. Add pork and shake to lightly coat with flour; set aside.

  2. Heat bacon drippings and vegetable oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook until meat is evenly browned, about 5 to 8 minutes.
