YUMMY!! I used 1 can of white beans, used salsa instead of tomato paste and added pineapple out of our backyard and a little juice from cutting up the pineapple. We really loved it! Will make this one again.

AWESOME CHILI!!! Everyone loved this dish. Made a few substitutions: used 1/2 lb. of ground pork instead of the cubed pork, and 2 cans of white beans (drained) instead of dried, then I only had shredded pineapple so I used a small can of that. It was so delicious!! Thanks for a super recipe.

I loved this dish. Other people said it was too sweet, but I like the combination of flavors. I may omit the pineapple juice in the future to please the others. This was added to my favorite recipe book. Thanks!
