I like to make this huge batch of chili in my big-boy 6-quart slow cooker because I’m sure to have leftovers for lunch the next day. If you don’t want to go quite this big, you can use your smaller cooker, but cut the recipe in half. Filled with chunks of beef and blackberry jalapeno pork roast, this chili satisfies like no other, without a bean in sight!
