WHITE BEAN GREEN CHILI WITH GROUND PORK



White Bean Green Chili With Ground Pork image

I love white chili, I love green chiles, and I love ground pork - so I created this crockpot recipe to combine all flavors!

Provided by p00gJr

Categories     Beans

Time 6h30m

Yield 6 bowls, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb white beans, soaked overnight rinsed, and strained
1 lb ground pork
1/2 lb green chili
2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely minuced
1/2 onion, chopped
1 (8 ounce) can chicken broth
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Brown ground pork and strain grease (although when I've been in a hurry, I've skipped this step and put it in the crock pot raw and it didn't ultimately hurt the flavor at all).
  • Rinse and strain beans
  • Combine all ingredients in crockpot, adding however much water the bag of beans directs (include the chicken broth in this measurement)
  • *Note - you can use canned green chiles (if so, use about 3 cans) or fresh Hatch green chiles, when in season!
  • Stir ingredients, set crockpot to high, let simmer on high for about 30 minutes.
  • Turn crockpot to low, let cook as long as needed, I usually do about 8 hours, although it'd be ready to eat around 6 hours.

Spicy Black Bean, Green Chili & Cheese Enchiladas image

Spicy black bean enchiladas with green chilis, sour cream, cheese and firey red enchilada sauce. Perfect alongside fajita veggies and guacamole.

Categories     Cheese

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 small flour tortillas (or corn, recommend flour)
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies
1 (28 ounce) can red enchilada sauce, such as Las Palmas
1/2 cup grated manchego cheese (plus more for topping or sub another Mexican cheese, such as Cojita or Pepper Jack)
1/2 teaspoon cumin (optional)
1/4 cup light sour cream (or greek yogurt)
diced green onion
cilantro
grilled fajita vegetables
avocado, salsa
sour cream, etc

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375*F. and position a baking rack in the middle of the oven.
  • Combine black beans, green chilies, sour cream and manchego(or other) cheese in a mixing bowl. Taste and add salt and pepper if desired. Add cumin if using, but fine without. Set aside.
  • Warm 3/4 of the enchilada sauce in a large shallow pan over low-medium heat.
  • Pour enough enchilada sauce to also lightly coat the bottom of a 9×13 dish. Swirl to coat and set aside.
  • If using corn tortillas drench them in hot oil before rolling up(this will soften them and make them easier to roll up).
  • Using your hands or tongs, carefully dip the tortillas in the warmed sauce until both sides are well coated. Transfer the tortilla to the baking dish, scoop in 2 Tbsp of the black bean filling and roll up. Place seam side down and continue until the pan is filled - should be about 10-12 enchiladas.
  • Top enchiladas with remaining sauce and use spoon to make sure all parts of the tortillas are evenly coated. Top with a bit more cheese and bake for 20 minutes or until slightly golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
  • Serve with toppings such as avocado, guacamole, salsa, fajita veggies, sour cream, green onion, cilantro or lettuce.
  • Will keep in the fridge for a couple days.
  • Reheat in oven or microwave.

GREEN BEAN CHILI



Green Bean Chili image

OK - I know it sounds a bit weird, but once you try it, it tastes surprisingly good. Even better? It's a slow-cooker dish - Oh, how I love those "set -n- forget" recipes. Serve this one with nothing more than a loaf of sourdough bread or a pan of cornbread.
