WHITE BEAN GREEN CHILI WITH GROUND PORK



White Bean Green Chili With Ground Pork image

I love white chili, I love green chiles, and I love ground pork - so I created this crockpot recipe to combine all flavors!

Provided by p00gJr

Categories     Beans

Time 6h30m

Yield 6 bowls, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb white beans, soaked overnight rinsed, and strained
1 lb ground pork
1/2 lb green chili
2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely minuced
1/2 onion, chopped
1 (8 ounce) can chicken broth
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Brown ground pork and strain grease (although when I've been in a hurry, I've skipped this step and put it in the crock pot raw and it didn't ultimately hurt the flavor at all).
  • Rinse and strain beans
  • Combine all ingredients in crockpot, adding however much water the bag of beans directs (include the chicken broth in this measurement)
  • *Note - you can use canned green chiles (if so, use about 3 cans) or fresh Hatch green chiles, when in season!
  • Stir ingredients, set crockpot to high, let simmer on high for about 30 minutes.
  • Turn crockpot to low, let cook as long as needed, I usually do about 8 hours, although it'd be ready to eat around 6 hours.

Categories     Cheese

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 small flour tortillas (or corn, recommend flour)
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies
1 (28 ounce) can red enchilada sauce, such as Las Palmas
1/2 cup grated manchego cheese (plus more for topping or sub another Mexican cheese, such as Cojita or Pepper Jack)
1/2 teaspoon cumin (optional)
1/4 cup light sour cream (or greek yogurt)
diced green onion
cilantro
grilled fajita vegetables
avocado, salsa
sour cream, etc

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375*F. and position a baking rack in the middle of the oven.
  • Combine black beans, green chilies, sour cream and manchego(or other) cheese in a mixing bowl. Taste and add salt and pepper if desired. Add cumin if using, but fine without. Set aside.
  • Warm 3/4 of the enchilada sauce in a large shallow pan over low-medium heat.
  • Pour enough enchilada sauce to also lightly coat the bottom of a 9×13 dish. Swirl to coat and set aside.
  • If using corn tortillas drench them in hot oil before rolling up(this will soften them and make them easier to roll up).
  • Using your hands or tongs, carefully dip the tortillas in the warmed sauce until both sides are well coated. Transfer the tortilla to the baking dish, scoop in 2 Tbsp of the black bean filling and roll up. Place seam side down and continue until the pan is filled - should be about 10-12 enchiladas.
  • Top enchiladas with remaining sauce and use spoon to make sure all parts of the tortillas are evenly coated. Top with a bit more cheese and bake for 20 minutes or until slightly golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
  • Serve with toppings such as avocado, guacamole, salsa, fajita veggies, sour cream, green onion, cilantro or lettuce.
  • Will keep in the fridge for a couple days.

GREEN BEAN CHILI



Green Bean Chili image

OK - I know it sounds a bit weird, but once you try it, it tastes surprisingly good. Even better? It's a slow-cooker dish - Oh, how I love those "set -n- forget" recipes. Serve this one with nothing more than a loaf of sourdough bread or a pan of cornbread.

Provided by Hope Wasylenki

Categories     Chili

Time 6h30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb ground turkey or beef
1 large onion, diced
3 clove garlic, minced
2 1/2 Tbsp cumin
3 Tbsp chili powder
1 tsp marjoram
1/4 tsp each, salt & pepper
1 tsp sugar (optional)
20 oz canned tomato or 8-vegetable juice
1 can(s) (14 oz) diced tomatoes
1-2 large bay leaves
20-24 oz french-style green beans, frozen

Steps:

  • 1. In a large skillet, cook ground meat until almost done. Add in onions and garlic and cook for 3 minutes.
  • 2. Dump cooked mixture into slow-cooker liner. Add seasonings/spices, sugar, tomato juice, tomatoes, bay leaves and green beans.
  • 3. Cook on LOW for 8-10 hours or on HIGH 4-5 hours.
  • 4. When done, ladle into bowls and top with your favorite toppings: shredded cheese, diced onion, jalapenos, crushed tortilla chips, sour cream

Tips:

  • To achieve the best flavor, use fresh green beans and homemade vegetable broth. If using canned green beans, rinse and drain them well before adding them to the chili.
  • For a spicier chili, add more chili powder or cayenne pepper to taste. You can also add a diced jalapeño pepper for an extra kick.
  • If you like your chili with a bit of a smoky flavor, roast the poblano pepper before adding it to the chili. Simply place the pepper on a baking sheet and broil it for 5-7 minutes, or until the skin is blackened. Then, remove the pepper from the oven and let it cool slightly before peeling and seeding it.
  • To make the chili ahead of time, simply cook it according to the recipe and then let it cool completely. Store the chili in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you're ready to serve, reheat the chili over medium heat until warmed through.

Conclusion:

This delicious and versatile green bean chili is a perfect meal for any occasion. It's easy to make, packed with flavor, and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give this green bean chili a try!
