Mojo Pork Chili

Hippie2MARS's Note:

Adapted from a Publix recipe, this is wonderful alternative to traditional chili. I serve this in either sourdough or pumpernickel bread bowls. The Zesty Wedge Salad is a perfect accompaniment to this dish. This goes together very quickly and is quite filling. While not spicy, you could easily change that by adding pepper sauce (or hot sauce) to your preferred level of heat.
