Slow Cooker Hatch Green Chile Colorado…Hatch Green Chile Colorado Style features roasted pork shoulder and plenty of warming spices. This chili is comfort food at its best and one of our favorite Hatch green chili recipes. Your slow cooker does all the hard work for you in this pork green chili recipe. Hatch green chiles are the star of this excellent recipe, but jalapeños can be used if needed!
The spiciness of the hatch green chiles, the lovely saltiness of pork, and the overall tastiness of the complimenting other ingredients and spices dance together to create the hot and healthy Colorado state staple that is hatch green chili.
This recipe is a Colorado-style pork green chile, which is more of a gravy-like stew compared to the more soupy New Mexico-style green chili. You can smother it on so many different dishes or serve as a stew with a variety of toppings. My favorite toppings are shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, red onion, crushed tortilla chips, cilantro and fresh lime. I also love dipping warm tortillas into this giant bowl of goodness.
