Chili Verde

Chili Verde ~ Growing Up Gabel

Chili is one of those dishes that I just can’t seem to master.  I’ve tried so many different variations of chili and nothing has been quite “it”. This chili is so different and so good!  The pork is so tender!  This chili is spicy hot.  Six cups of chiles is a lot of heat! I don’t think I used quite six cups, probably closer to 3-4 so use your judgement on how much you want in there.

If you want, you can use canned enchilada sauce, chiles, and beans.  I used homemade salsa verde, fresh chiles (mostly serrano and jalapeno) and beans I’d cooked and frozen.  I bought cheap pork chops and cut off the fat and bones and diced them up. You could also try ground pork or even diced or ground chicken.
