Slow Cooker Pork Roast Chili – Pork roast pinto bean chili cooked low and slow in a crockpot/slow cooker. This is the easiest, most delicious pork chili ever and it more than exceeded my expectations!

Ingredients you need to make Pork Roast Chili:
- Pork Roast – You can use either a boneless pork shoulder or pork butt. You need about a 2 pound roast.
- Pinto Beans – I used one 15 oz can of pinto beans.
- Tomato Sauce – You will need about one 15 oz can tomato sauce. This is equivalent to about 1 3/4 cups sauce.
- Onion – Yellow, white or sweet onion all work great in this recipe.
- Garlic Cloves – Fresh garlic cloves work best in this recipe. If you don’t have fresh garlic you can substitute 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder.
- Chili Powder
- Paprika – I used regular paprika but you can also use smoked paprika.
- Cumin
- Oregano – I used dried oregano in this recipe, but you can also use fresh. If using fresh, double the amount.
- Salt – I almost always use sea salt in my recipes, but you can use any salt you have on hand.
- Pepper – Fresh cracked black pepper or ground black pepper.
Tools to have on hand for this recipe:
- Slow Cooker / Crockpot – For cooking the chili in.
- Measuring Spoons – To properly measure all of your ingredients.
- Cutting Board + Chef Knife– To chop and prepare the veggies.

How to make Slow Cooker Pork Roast Chili:
Add all ingredients to your slow cooker except for the pork roast and give it a nice stir to fully combine. Add pork roast and cover with some of the sauce/bean mixture.
Cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 4 hours.
When ready, pork will be very tender. Break up pork with a fork and mix to combine.
Serve chili with shredded cheese and sour cream.
