Crockpot Chunky Pork And Sausage Chilli

This hearty southwestern stew is chunky with pork, sausage, and beans.

Ingredients
1 lb. boneless pork country-style ribs, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
1/2 lb. fully cooked smoked sausage, cut into 1/2-inch slices
1 C. chopped onion
1 C. chopped celery
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 15 oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 15 oz. can tomato sauce
1 10 oz. can diced tomatoes with green chilies
1 C. beer (room temperature), or water
2 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions
Place all ingredients in 4-qt. slow cooker; mix gently. Cover and cook on low heat setting for 8-10 hours until pork is tender.

Tips: Serve from the slow cooker directly over hot cooked rice, with cornbread or with corn tortillas, and accompany with celery and carrot sticks. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream and chopped fresh cilantro, if desired.
