Notes
NOTE: You MUST use a pork loin roast for this recipe, a tenderloin will NOT work and will become overcooked!NOTE: Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To freeze, once the chili is cooled completely, add it to a freezer safe zip-top bag and freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Then, pour the chili from the bag into a large pot on the stove and cook over medium heat until heated through. Or, you can heat in the instant pot on the soup setting until warmed.
