Pork and Black Bean Chili

Submitted by Denise in NH

"I found this recipe in a sales circular from my local grocery store (Hannaford) and bought all the ingredients today to make it for dinner some night this week. I will be cutting the recipe in half as there is just me and my husband (sometimes my son) eating it. I bought a 1 lb. pork tenderloin for the pork. I will be posting their original recipe."

Delicious!! I used three large pork shoulder steaks cubed. The meat was fall apart tender...although this might be because I cooked it in the oven for three and half hours instead of two. My black beans stayed a little tough...no fault of the recipe...probably just old beans...but I think I will soak them overnight next time before making this. Very easy and a hearty one dish meal...thanks for sharing!
