Crockpot Chile Verde
Description
This Crockpot Chile Verde recipe uses diced pork shoulder browned first for depth, then slowly cooked with green enchilada sauce, salsa verde, tomatoes, green chiles, garlic, and onions in a crock pot. The long cooking time allows the pork to become tender while absorbing the tangy, mildly spicy sauce flavors.
The thickened stew can be served with rice, tortillas, or your favorite toppings such as cilantro or sour cream for a hearty meal. The combination of enchilada sauce and salsa verde provides a distinctively bright and rich sauce base.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Adding a cornstarch slurry near the end thickens the sauce for a more substantial texture.

- 3 teaspoons garlic minced
- 1/2 white onion diced
