Chili Ranch Grilled Pork Cooking For 2 Recipes

CHILI WITH GROUND PORK

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat, and cook the ground pork until evenly browned. Reserving the juices in the skillet, remove pork, and set aside.
• Stir the onions and garlic into the skillet, and cook in the pork juices over medium heat until tender. Mix in the mushrooms, wax beans, peas, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper. Cook and stir until tender and heated through.
• Return the pork to the skillet. Mix in the tomato sauce. Season with chili powder, nutmeg, marjoram, and salt. Reduce heat, and simmer about 45 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.

GRILLED CHILI FRIES

Steps:

• Set up grill for direct cooking over medium heat. Oil grate when ready to start cooking.
• On a baking sheet, toss to coat fries, oil and chili seasoning. Place fries on hot, oiled grill and cook 3 to 5 minutes per side. Serve hot with your favorite BBQ sauce for dipping.
• INDOOR: Preheat broiler. Place FROZEN fries on foil-lined baking sheet. Toss to coat with oil and chili seasoning. Broil fries for 8 to 12 minutes, turning once, or until desired degree of crispness.

CHILI RANCH GRILLED PORK (COOKING FOR 2)

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. Place pork chops in shallow bowl. Pour dressing over both sides of pork chops. Cover and refrigerate 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix remaining ingredients. Remove pork from marinade; discard marinade.
• Sprinkle half of seasoning mixture over one side of pork chops. Place pork on grill, seasoned side down. Sprinkle remaining seasoning mixture over pork. Cover and grill over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, turning once, until pork is no longer pink and meat thermometer inserted in center reads 160°F.

SLOW GRILLED ANCHO RUBBED PORK

Steps:

• For the spice rub: Toast the ancho chile pieces over low heat in a dry skillet until fragrant, shaking the pan so they don't scorch. Put the chiles in spice grinder and pulse to a powder. Add the remaining ingredients and buzz again to combine. (Reserve some to sprinkle on the corn.)
• For the pork: Rub the spice mix into the pork and set aside for 1 hour while you prepare the grill. (You can marinate the pork longer under refrigeration, just make sure to bring it to room temperature before cooking it.) Light the coals in a barbecue grill with a cover. When the coals are hot, push them to 1 side of the grill. Rub the pork with some olive oil and season it liberally with salt. Put the pork on the grill away from the coals and place a drip pan underneath the meat. Close the cover and cook, maintaining a medium low temperature, for about 4 to 6 hours, or until the meat shreds easily. Turn the meat occasionally and baste with the drippings.
• For the drizzling sauce: Combine all ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth; taste and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle over the shredded pork.
