CHRIS'S PUEBLO GREEN CHILI SAUCE



Chris's Pueblo Green Chili Sauce image

This recipe comes from Southern Colorado and I have been making it for over 20 years. It is my favorite thing to cook and eat. If you like hot and spicy Mexican food, this is a recipe for you! I made it for our friends and it has become a hit here in Corpus Christi, Texas! The great thing is you can also make it hotter or milder, depending on your taste! In Pueblo, Colorado, we served it over burritos, or enchilada's. My personal favorite way to eat Green Chile (especially on a cold day) is by placing a hamburger bun in a bowl, add a plain hamburger (with or without cheese), smother it with the Green Chile Sauce, then top it with diced onion and oyster crackers. In Colorado we call these green chili sloppers! They are great served with a beer!

Time 3h40m

Yield 1 Kettle of Chili, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 -4 serrano chilies, diced (depending on how hot you want your chile, don't add if you want mild chile)
1/4 cup vegetable oil or 1/4 cup bacon fat
8 -10 large roasted green chilies, skins removed, torn into strips (Hatch or Poblano are best)
24 ounces chicken broth (approximately)
1 (12 ounce) can Rotel tomatoes & chilies
1 cup water
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon Season-All salt
1 teaspoon fresh cilantro or 1 teaspoon dried cilantro
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper
1/4 cup flour (approx.)
1 small yellow onion
1 -2 lb pork (diced or ground)

Steps:

  • 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).

CHRIS' CHILI

This is my personal recipe, and it has won over 12 chili cook-offs, and I figured I'd share. It is a medium steak and bean chili. If I had to compare it, it would be similar to Steak N' Shake's chili, but better! It's rather involved, but trust me. Worth every minute! Try it. You will not be disappointed!

Time 2h20m

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ½ cups onion soup, prepared from a packet of dry onion soup mix
¼ cup bacon grease (see notes)
1 ½ pounds boneless beef round steak, cut into 1/3-inch cubes
1 ½ pounds beef sirloin steak, cut into 1/3-inch cubes
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
3 (15 ounce) cans kidney beans, undrained
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup cola soft drink (such as Coke®)
1 tablespoon yellow sport pepper sauce (such as Texas Petes's®)

Steps:

  • Prepare soup from a packet of onion soup mix according to the package directions, and set 1 1/2 cups aside.
  • Place bacon grease into a large stainless steel soup pot over medium-high heat, and cook and stir the cubed round and sirloin steak meat in the bacon fat until well browned, about 10 minutes. Pour in the reserved onion soup, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 7 minutes, stirring to dissolve any browned flavor bits from the pot.
  • Stir in salt, chili powder, cumin, black pepper, kidney beans, tomato paste, and tomato sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently to avoid burning the bottom, then cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Stir in the cocoa powder, cola, and hot sauce, and simmer for 20 more minutes. Serve hot.
