Guys and gals, can we talk to you for a second about our Spicy BBQ Pulled Pork Chili recipe? It is like a yummy BBQ pulled pork sandwich hopped into a bowl of spicy chili. You get tender pulled pork + the sweet tang of your favorite BBQ sauce. Oh, and then it swims and simmers for hours in tomatoes and spicy chili fixin’s until it is perfection.
Rock the Crockpot : Spicy BBQ Pulled Pork Chili
You ever take a bite of something and then have that crazy flavor combo that is addictive?
Yeah. Just happened with this pulled pork chili recipe. We went all out on this one and it tastes like you have been slaving away all day long…but your crockpot is making magic happen.
For this Spicy BBQ Pulled Pork Chili, we started with fresh pork loin. You can use whatever is on sale at your local Meijer. A small pork shoulder would work great, too. Or, use leftover pulled pork and jump to the next part of the recipe. The choice is yours.
Tender pulled pork is a great change from a traditional beef chili. Plus when you cook the pork in the crockpot first, you get all of that pork flavor simmered right into the chili.
This slightly sweet + spicy BBQ pulled pork chili is so easy to make using some of our personal favorite ingredients from Meijer.

Spicy BBQ Pulled Pork Chili (Rock the Crockpot)
Buy This
- 2 lb pork loin or pork shoulder roast
- 1 large onion peeled and sliced
- 28 oz can Hunt's Crushed Tomatoes
- 3-15 oz cans Brook's Original Chili Beans undrained
- 1-10 oz can RO*TEL Hot Diced Tomatoes with Habaneros
- 1-1.25 oz package Brook's Original Chili Seasoning
- 1 cup of BBQ sauce your favorite brand
- 1 TB all-purpose seasoning blend your favorite
Cook That
- Place the sliced onions in the bottom of your slow cooker. Sprinkle all sides of the pork with the seasoning blend. Sit the pork on top of the onions. Close the lid of your crockpot and cook on high for about 2 - 3 hours.*
- *Cooking times will vary based on your slow cooker, the cut of pork you use, and thickness of pork. You want to cook the pork until it is done, but not falling apart. If you cook it too long, it will lose texture during the next part of the recipe.
- Once the pork is done and can be easily sliced, pull it apart with a fork. Or you can cut it into bite-sized chunks. (We sliced it with a large knife, and then cut it into cubes with kitchen scissors. Then we pulled it using two forks into smaller pieces.)
- Leaving the onions and cooking liquid in the crockpot, add all of the other ingredients. Stir to combine, close the lid, and cook on high for 2 - 3 hours until the pork is tender.
- Serve with corn chips and sour cream.
Recipe Notes
If you are using pre-cooked pork, skip the first step and go right to the combination of all ingredients.
