Pork Chili for the 4th of July


What to do with left-over smoked baby back ribs on the 4th of July?  How about a slow-cooked chili? The best part of making this recipe on Independence Day is that if you have already started drinking, it does not matter.  All of the ingredients are to taste.  I threw it in a crock pot over night and sat back.

Sumrall and I didn't even bother to de-bone the ribs; after a bit, the meat just falls off.  This chili is quite spicy, so I rinsed the ribs before giving them to Ele and Patotas.

Here's what went in:
- 1 rack of smoked baby back ribs
- Large can of crushed tomatoes
- 2 cans of cannellini beans
- Cumin powder
- Brown sugar
- Whole, peeled garlic bud
- Cocoa powder
- Molasses
- 365 Blackened Cajun Spice
- Tomato paste
- 1 12oz bottle of amber ale
- Salt
- Pepper
- Water
- Frank's RedHot
- 2 tablespoons of cayenne powder
- Paprika

Mmmm....chili...

See the bone from the baby back rib.  The meat separated after only a short time cooking.
