Ingredients

1 medium onion, chopped

2 medium garlic cloves, minced

1 cup carrots, chopped

1 tbsp chili powder, medium-hot

1 tsp dried oregano, crushed

1 medium jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped or 1 canned chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, chopped

1/2 tsp table salt

1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground

2 pound lean pork tenderloin, trimmed of fat and cut into 1-inch chunks

15 oz canned black beans, drained and rinsed

15 oz canned kidney beans, drained and rinsed

15 oz canned pinto beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup canned tomato puree

29 oz canned diced tomatoes, with green pepper, celery & onion, undrained

6 oz canned tomato paste

Instructions

Combine onion, garlic, carrots, chili powder, oregano, chilies, salt and pepper in a 5-quart (or larger) slow cooker. Stir. Add remaining ingredients. Stir again.

Cover & cook at HIGH setting for 6 to 8 hours. Yields about 1 cup per serving. (Note: Start the chili at a HIGH setting so the ingredients quickly reach a safe temperature. You can reduce the heat to LOW after 3 to 4 hours, if you prefer.)
