An authentic Colorado family chili recipe I grew up eating. Everyone who eats my chili wants my mom's recipe. A flavorful tender pork chili simmered to bring out the flavor. Enjoy the chili with flour tortillas and fried potatoes. Or pour over chicken enchiladas, beef enchiladas, burritos, or tamales. Chili is always better the next day; I like to make this chili the night before so the flavors blend together.
