This chili made with pork and beans takes only 20 minutes to make. Chili was probably created based on a Mexican meat dish called Mole de Guajolote, which was made with cubed pork accompanied by fried beans and rice. Today there are as many styles of chili as people who make it and everyone seems to have their own favorite. The degree of heat is up toyou. Add more chili powder or fresh chili peppers as you like.
