- 1⁄4 cup flour (approx.)
- 1 small yellow onion
- 1 -2 lb pork (diced or ground)
directions
- In large stainless kettle, brown pork in bacon fat or vegetable oil.
- (bacon fat has better flavor.) Cook on medium heat till meat is slightly pink.
- Add diced onion and garlic, cook till soft.
- Add flour and stir, browning flour as you would a roux (rue).
- Add some of your water if flour is too thick, keep stirring till it bubbles.
- Add chicken broth.
- Add the rest of the ingredients and bring to a bubble, then turn heat to low.
- Cook uncovered for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally.
- If your chile is too thin, add more flour.
- If your chile is too thick, add more chicken broth.
- Taste often and add more spices or peppers to your liking!
- If you do not like chunks of tomato or peppers, place the RoTel, tomatoes and canned diced green chile's into a blender and puree them!
- (This is the way I like my sauce. I only add the Pueblo or Poblano peppers whole to my chile).

Moved to Florida years ago and somewhere in all the moving I lost my green chili recipe. It has been cold here the last couple weeks. (50's and 60's.. Don't laugh)! I have a craving for my green chili and found your recipe! Made me miss home and decided to make some and have a slipper for dinner today! Can't wait for it to get done and my home now smells like I remember home home used to smell! Thank you for this recipe and the memories of home you have brought me this weekend! :-)

I'm originally from Pueblo Colorado and have grown up eating green chili on just about everything. I had to move to Arizona and find a way to make it myself. I found this wonderful recipe and it takes me back home! I have made it twice this week to feed friends and family and co-workers, they all loved it!!! I will be cooking this many more times and have already been requested to make it again LOL! Thanks Chris for adding this awesome recipe : )

I was skeptical when i moved to Pueblo and was basically forced to try this chili bc folks here put it on everything. Restaurants definitely ruin the absolute awesomeness that is Pueblo Green Chili. A friend made it and OMG! This! This is why they put it on everything! Hell, I might even put it on my cereal lol!! This recipe looks similar to my friends. Ill try it out bc he wont come off his recipe! Thanks!!!

I have been making this recipe for about two years now and it is soooo good. It is also flexible. I make mine vegetarian because my daughter-in-law is vegetarian and I use it mostly on burritos which I have filled with chicken or pork and cheese. I just leave out the pork in the sauce. It is still great. I spice mine up with jalapenos rather than serranos as I usually have those on hand. I usually make a double batch to freeze. In that case I do not thicken with flour at all before freezing and thicken with flour or cornstarch after thawing and heating.
