Chile Verde in the Slow Cooker

This week is BSI Blogger Secret Ingredient: Chiles!  Biz from My Bizzy Kitchen is is hosting this week and she's got all the rules and stuff on her blog. 

This is a great slow cooker meal. It makes a lot of food with many possibilities.  My husband put his on a bakes potato, I put mine on a tortilla as a wrap.  The next day, I put it on lettuce as a salad.

Chile Verde Recipe
Adapted from A Year of Slow Cooking

3 1/2 lbs. chuck roast
1 green pepper, diced
1 poblano pepper, diced
1 onion, diced
1 can chiles, (4 oz)
1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 oz)
10 tomatillos, diced (peel off outer wrapper)
4 cloves of garlic
2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. cumin
2 tsp. sage
1 tbsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Trim any visible fat from the meat and chuck it into the crockpot.  Add diced peppers, onion and tomatillos.  Pour in chiles and tomatoes.  Add spices. Stir a bit to get spices all over the meat.  Add chopped cilantro over the top.  Cover and cook on low for 8 - 10 hours or until meat shreds easily. 

OR

Let meat and everything else cook on low overnight, then shred and keep in the crock pot to let the flavors come together more.  This way you can taste and season accordingly.
