As we move into fall and winter, it’s a great time to bust out the slow cooker or crockpot and start cooking some hearty meals. This delicious slow cooker spicy pulled pork chili is a fantastic winter dish, and you can adjust the heat to meet the tastes of the whole family.
Since the pork is slow-cooked, you can use a cheap cut or leftovers. By the time it has finished cooking it will be falling apart and melting in your mouth.
