Note

If using fresh pork butt, ensure it is cut into small, uniform pieces to ensure even cooking within the 30-minute simmer time.

You can substitute wide egg noodles with wide ribbon pasta or even shredded cabbage for a lower-carb variation.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water or broth if the sauce has thickened too much.

For a spicier kick, increase the chili powder to 1/2 teaspoon or add a dash of hot sauce.
