Steps:
- 1. Slice onion fairly thick and lay at the bottom of a crock pot. Add the water, then the pork shoulder. Crush/slice the garlic onto of the pork, then add the can of chili. Set on low and let it go for overnight (I let mine go for about 16 hours. Needless to say, it didn't need that long, but it certainly doesn't hurt it!) Save liquid.
- 2. In a large pot, add oil then flour when combined, slowly add the reserved pork stock and water, stirring avoid lumps. Add canned tomatoes and seasonings.
- 3. If you can, blend half the roasted green chilies till smooth and chop the rest. If that's too much of a pain, you can skip that and just chop the whole lot and add them to the sauce.
- 4. Next shred your pork and add that to the sauce. Cook on low heat for an hour to blend. Stir when needed.
- 5. Pre-heat oven to 350. In a 9 x 13 pan place a triple layer of corn tortillas. Then add a layer of the chili on top of that add a layer of the cheese. Then add another layer of tortillas then meat. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes uncovered, then add a final layer of cheese. Bake another 10-15 minutes till the cheese is melted. (You could easily use a smaller baking dish and freeze the rest of the chili) Serve with sour cream/lettuce/salsa/green onions and whatever other toppings you enjoy.
- 6. Note: You'll want to serve this in bowls as it's a loose dish. Also, don't be afraid to play around with the ingredients. If you want more heat you can saute (or roast!) some jalapeno and add them to the sauce.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh green chilies, tomatillos, and cilantro add vibrant flavor to this casserole. If you can't find fresh green chilies, you can use canned ones, but be sure to drain and rinse them well before using.
- Don't overcook the tamales: Overcooked tamales will become dry and tough. Steam them just until they are heated through, about 15 minutes.
- Use a good quality cheese: A good quality cheese will melt smoothly and evenly, and it will add a rich flavor to the casserole. I recommend using a Mexican blend of cheeses, such as Monterey Jack, cheddar, and queso Oaxaca.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: This casserole is delicious on its own, but you can also serve it with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, sour cream, guacamole, or pico de gallo.
Conclusion:
This Green Chili Tamale Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a potluck. It is packed with flavor from the fresh green chilies, tomatillos, and cilantro, and the cheese adds a creamy richness. This casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
