My little family can tend to be slightly fussy eaters. Therefore I’m always thinking of new recipes to feed them. It keeps our lives interesting and it means that no one gets bored of he dinners I serve. Occasionally I will stumble across an absolute ‘gem’ of a meal.
These dishes are normally ones I could add time and time again and the interest for this dinner would still be there. This meal is one of those dishes. My husband Howard and son Ted loved it. It a meal I will be serving again soon.

Porky Pork Chilli was a delicious dish that my little family loved. It was and easy dinner to prepare and cook. Plus it was very tasty. Recently Ted has started to enjoy more spices in his food and he even suggested making it slightly more spice next time. All the ingredients in this dish are freezable. A big batch could be made and frozen for another occasion. I served this meal with garlic and cheese rolls but you could serve it with rice or even pasta. However you decide to eat this dish, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
