"Enjoy this recipe of 13 ingredients and 13 steps to sheer bliss! With a proper pantry and pork on sale and green chile's out of the yard/freezer not only is this an inexpensive dish and very versatile but a sure crowd pleaser! This recipe is FOOLPROOF and is great on everything or just as is. PLEASE feel free to take what I have learned and share with family and friends. A few special notes. 1st off you will want to start this in a cast iron dutch oven and then transfer into crock-pot or slow cooker of your choice and allow to finish. This is not required but really does make this dish. I did this recipe side by side browning pork in one batch and the taste is very different! (MUCH, MUCH deeper and richer) I also do not use flour to brown pork nor do I use corn starch but if you feel it necessary its your recipe now!"

This is a five star Colorado green chili. The best I have every had..... With only 13 ingredients, it's easy to make. Rich and complex in flavors with not much effort. The addition of the chocolate is great in the chili or shaved on top.
