This was delicious! I had to make a small adjustment though. I didn't have time to cook it in the crockpot, so I sauteed the onions in a Dutch oven, then added the pork. I cooked the pork until there wasn't any more pink, then added the garlic and sauteed for a minute. I added all the remaining chili ingredients, then simmered for about 20 minutes. It was so good, we didn't add any toppings. I will definitely make this again. Thank you for the recipe!
