(Pork, white beans, tomatoes, pineapple, and chiles combine to make an unusual chili made in the crockpot. This is incredibly easy to make because you simply toss everything into the crockpot and let it cook with no supervision for 9 hours. Perfect for those who work all day.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 9 hours
Ingredients:
