Here it is the middle of February and it’s been a cold one!  Last week we got a lot of snow and it was so cold I didn’t want to eat anything that wasn’t piping hot.  I needed to choose a recipe from my assignment for this month’s Secret Recipe Club and I was hoping for something warm and comforting.

Double Pork Chili Colorado

The blog I was assigned to this month is On The Move-In the Galley which has a ton of wonderful recipes.  I really wanted to try the Wonton Lasagna Cupcakes, Butter Brushed Soft Pretzels, and the Pork Spring Rolls, but I stuck to what I originally wanted to make a found a delicious soup.

I made the Triple Pork Chili Colorado except I turned it into Double Pork Chili.  It was perfect for the snowy night when we had it for dinner.  The beans, pork, and corn make it hearty enough to eat as a main course.  It was a little spicy, filled with delicious vegetables, and finished off with pork chops and chorizo sausage.

  1. Hi, I made your Jalapeno Popper dip for the SRC this month, but screwed up labeling the link. By the way, loved the dip and will definitely be making it again. Check out the link called Sid’s Sea Palm Cooking. Thanks again for a great recipe, and will be making a few more from your website.
