CHRIS'S PUEBLO GREEN CHILI SAUCE
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!

- Taste often and add more spices or peppers to your liking!

- (This is the way I like my sauce. I only add the Pueblo or Poblano peppers whole to my chile).

HONEY BOURBON GLAZED SMOKED SPARERIBS, WITH BEER BACON BBQ SAUCE AND SOUTHWESTERN GREEN CHILI MAC 'N' CHEESE
Steps:
- For the honey bourbon glaze: Pour the bourbon into a saucepan over low heat; ignite bourbon to burn off the alcohol for about 5 minutes. Add the honey and brown sugar and whisk to thicken. Simmer for another 3 minutes, then remove from heat. Pour glaze into a small bowl and set aside.
- For the beer bacon bbq sauce: Heat a large pot on high heat, then add the butter and let it melt for 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add the onions and garlic. Saute until translucent. Add the beer and bacon and cook for 8 to 10 minutes. Add the apple cider vinegar and reduce by a quarter, then add ketchup, molasses, granulated sugar, brisket drippings, chili powder, Worcestershire, salt and pepper and cook on low heat for 30 to 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let cool for 10 minutes, then puree in a blender until smooth, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- For the ribs: Whisk together the salt, pepper, chile powder and garlic powder in a small bowl. Drizzle a little canola oil over the ribs, front and back, then rub the oil in. Holding your hand high, season both sides of the ribs with rub. Be sure to get an even coating on both sides, along with the sides of the ribs.
- Soak 5 to 6 paper towels with canola oil, then open the smoker lid and place soaked paper towels in the smoker with 1 chunk hickory, 2 small chunks apple wood and a few handfuls charcoal. Light the paper towels. Let the coals burn down for 20 to 30 minutes. Add a couple more chunks hickory, apple and charcoal, then let smoker come up to 250 degrees F. Place a small pan of water on smoker rack, then place ribs in smoker. Let cook 30 to 40 minutes.
- Add another chunk of each wood and more charcoal; repeat this process every 30 to 45 minutes. At 2 hours into the cooking process, spritz ribs with apple cider vinegar, then spritz every 30 minutes until the third hour of cooking. At the third hour, wrap the ribs in foil and place back on the smoker. At the 4 1/2-hour mark, take the ribs out of foil and glaze with the honey bourbon. Let glaze set in for 20 to 30 minutes in the smoker meat-side up. Let ribs rest for 10 to 15 minutes, then slice. Drizzle ribs with Beer Bacon BBQ sauce and toss. Garnish the ribs with sliced scallions.
- For the Southwestern Green Chili Mac 'n' Cheese: Meanwhile, heat four cups half-and-half to a gentle boil in a medium-large saucepot. Add the garlic, chipotle sauce, cumin, seafood seasoning and thyme, then add the American cheese, whisking until smooth and melted. Fold in the pasta and green chiles and heat through until lightly bubbly. Add the shredded jack, Cheddar and Gouda. If the pasta is too thick, add in another cup or two of half-and-half to smooth it out. Season to taste with salt and fresh ground pepper. Garnish with toasted buttered breadcrumbs and a sprinkle of Korean chile flakes.
- If you prefer baked mac 'n' cheese, place pasta into a casserole dish, sprinkle a handful of extra Cheddar and jack cheeses on top and bake at 350 degrees F until browned and bubbly, about 30 minutes.

GREEN CHILI ENCHILADA SAUCE, MILLIE'S
I just love green chile enchilada sauce , but sometimes it can be hard to find where I live. I created this recipe so that I could make my own and freeze it. This year I put in a garden and grew a lot of anahiem peppers and tomatillos, so I started canning my sauce. Sometimes I will make it mild and other times I add serrano...

Steps:
- 1. First fire roast your chiles and peel and clean them (** https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/soup/chili/fire-roasted-chilis-peppers.html?p=64)
- 2. Peel the paper like husk from the tomatillo then wash them. Cut in half.
- 3. In large pot add halved tomatillos, chunked onion, oregano,chuncked jalapeno and serrano*peppers,minced garlic,ground cumin,salt,cayenne pepper,cilantro and 4 cups chicken stock. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium and cook 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- 4. Place in 8 quart pot on stove (heat off). Using a food processor, puree green chiles, a little at a time using chicken stock to thin it with. You will have to do several small batches. Puree each batch at least 1 1/2 - 2 minutes. Dump into your pot on stove.
- 5. Now puree the tomatillos and onions and the juice. Using a strainer hooked over the pot of green chile mixture, strain tomatillo mixture. Use a rubber spatula to move it around. Tomatillos have a billion seeds ! This will take several batches also.
- 6. Add remaining chicken stock to pot. Turn heat on and bring to a boil, reduce heat and cook 30 minutes. You are now ready to can sauce or freeze in bags. I can mine in a pressure cooker , 15lbs. of pressure for 90 minutes . (pints) *** be sure to follow recommendations for your elevation***
- 7. *********** NOTE ********** You can use water instead of chicken broth and reduce canning time to 30 minutes.
