Pork Chili (Slow Cooker)

I had made a pork loin roast over the holidays and we had quite a bit of meat leftover.  I wrapped it tight and put it in the freezer in hopes of making something with it when I had a little more time. I decided to pull it out last week, since the craziness of sports practices was in full swing and experimented with a chili. I figured it would make a quick weeknight meal and it certainly was. Since the meat was already cooked, I used the slow cooker for this one so it had time to sit and absorb all of the flavors. I've never made a chili using meat other than ground before and it was really very good, almost more like a stew. The family loved it, which is always a good thing. You can serve this on it's own or pour over rice or egg noodles.
