Colorado Style Green Chili, Slow Cooker image

this is a recipe i came up by using several different recipes and some creativity. i am originally from colorado, but we live in east asia, so we can't get some ingredients or green tomatillos. but, we have been working on this recipe and love it! we love just eating this by the bowl with warm homemade tortillas, or smothered over eggs and tortillas in the morning, or it is also great smootherd over burritos or cheese roll-ups.

Steps:

  • fry bacon, until just done, add bacon to broth, but keep grease in pan to fry chopped veggies.
  • fry veggies in order of listed above leaving several second in between. don't fry the canned chilies, but if you are using fresh jalapenos, fry those with the other veggies. don't fry the cilantro. add fried veggies to broth.
  • brown chunks of pork on all sides in left over grease from veggies, add to broth.
  • add fresh cilantro, cumin powder, salt, and garlic powder to broth. stir well.

  • chili can cook on high for 4-6 hrs, or on low for 6-8 hours stir occasionally.
  • at some point, you can blend (in blender or shake in closed tupperware) the flour / water mixture, and then add to the broth. usually you should do this within an hour or so of throwing in all the ingredients into the broth. for thicker chili add more of this mixture.
  • towards the end of cooking time salt to taste.
  • when almost finished, pull chunks of pork out of chili and pull apart a bit to your desired size. add back to chili and let it cook a bit longer.

  • enjoy.

I'm not a big fan of green chili, but this recipe was actually pretty good. I might even make it again sometime.

This chili was a little too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. He said it was the best chili he's ever had.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chili turned out too watery. I had to add a lot of cornstarch to thicken it up.

This chili was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I think I would have liked it better if it had a little more spice.

This chili was a hit at my party! Everyone loved it. I especially liked the addition of the cornbread dumplings. They were so fluffy and moist.

I've tried many different green chili recipes, and this one is by far the best. It's so easy to make in the slow cooker, and the flavor is amazing. I love that I can just throw everything in the pot and let it cook all day.
