New Mexico vs. Colorado Green Chili: Heading North, Green chili transforms into a thicker soup or stew with the addition of pork for Colorado Green Chili.
Hatch Green Chili is a savory pork stew taking advantage of roasted green chile peppers, pork roast and plenty of Southwestern warming spices. It’s a popular dish in the Southwest, particularly in New Mexico and Colorado with variations from each state. Colorado style green chili is a thicker and heartier with the addition of pork.
This Pork Green Chili Recipe, Colorado is the only way I’ve ever prepared it … for over 40 years.
Every August when chiles are roasting in our markets, I make a couple of large batches of my Hatch Green Chili to pack away in freezer containers to keep us warm until Spring.
Where Did I Get This Hatch Green Chili Recipe?
Back in 1979 I had my first introduction to this incredible Southwestern treat when a coworker, who happened to be from New Mexico, brought a crock pot full of Green Chili with Pork to an office pot luck.
I hounded her for at least a year for her recipe but to no avail. All I knew was that it was full of pork and green chiles. Keep in mind this was before computers, Google search options and the wealth of resources we have at our fingertips current day.
With that said, this Pork Green Chili recipe has developed into my own, with countless tweaks since 1979. And has turned into an award winning Hatch Green Chili Recipe.
Where Do Hatch Chiles Come From?
You can roast any variety of popular capiscum chile peppers, Anaheim, Big Jim or even chiles grown here in Colorado known as Mirasol to make a pot of Pork Green Chili.
But if you can get your hands on Chile Peppers from the Hatch Valley of New Mexico, they’re meatier, they’re larger and have a beautiful chile pepper flavor. Some say superior flavor. For a chile pepper to be labeled a Hatch Chile, it must be grown in the Hatch Valley region of Southern New Mexico.
Why are they special?
- Hatch Chile Peppers offer a great balance of heat and sweetness.
- The New Mexico terroir, the long hot days and cool nights, the climate is perfect for producing excellent peppers for your Southwestern recipes.
- They’re simply wildly popular here in the West.
Each Fall, we celebrate the arrival of Chile peppers from the Hatch Valley. Parking lot and roadside stands fire up their chile roasting drums and the aromas of New Mexico fill the air.
We evangelize and we obsess. We talk constantly about them and we add Hatch chile peppers to almost everything. We clear out our freezers to make room for as many packages of roasted chile peppers as we can possibly squeeze in.
A Winter stash is a cache to cherish. And the first thing I make is this Colorado green chili recipe with pork.
Let’s get started.
Table of contents
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Pork: Bone In pork shoulder roast BUTT Roast. Note: Bone in pork shoulder roasts are typically sold in 7 – 8 pound packages.
- Bacon Grease Drippings will be used to add flavor when cooking onions.
- Tomatoes: 1 can chopped tomatoes, or use three large fresh tomatoes.
- Chile vs Chili: Please note this recipe calls for Chili powder seasoning (with an i) and Chile powder. Chili seasoning is a blend of spices used to make Tex-Mex style Chili Soups. Chile powder (with an “e”) is a single blend red chile powder. Chimayo Chile Powder is recommended, or use any New Mexico ground chile powder. To learn more, check out my article Chili vs. Chile.
- Southwest Spices: Cumin, Coriander, Mexican Oregano, Smoked Paprika. Use coriander seed or ground coriander.
- Hatch Chile Peppers, roasted, cleaned and chopped.
- Lime Wedges: Serving Hatch Green Chili with Pork with a squeeze of lime will brighten flavor.
- A cornstarch slurry if you’d like to thicken the chili once cooked.
Mexican Oregano is preferred for this recipe. It’s peppery, grassy, earthy flavor is a good compliment for Mexican Food. If you don’t have Mexican Oregano, substitute Marjoram. Known for its aroma and delicate flavor, its related to oregano and will bring a sweet undertone to any recipe.
How To Make Colorado Green Chili, It’s Easy
- Step 1: Remove the pork roast from package and pat dry with a paper towel. Use a large skillet to heat oil. Season both sides of the pork roast with salt. Add oil to the hot skillet, once oil is hot, add the pork roast and sear on both sides until golden browned. About 5 minutes per side.
- Step 2: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place the seared pork roast in a 7-quart Dutch oven and cover. 30 – 40 minutes per pound is a good rule of thumb. And plan on about 3-4 hours. Use a digital read meat thermometer to determine an internal temperature of 145 degrees. The meat should be fall apart and easily shred.
Pro Tip: Don’t skip searing the meat. This is a crucial step in getting the most flavor out of this meal. Searing creates what is technically called Maillard reaction. Maillard reaction is the process where a crust is created. Simply stated, it’s responsible for the complex flavors and aroma that makes bread taste toasty, and a grilled or seared burger taste charred. It’s a technique that brings science to your cooking skills.
- Step 3: When the pork roast is cool enough to handle, use a large sheet pan, or disposable foil pan and use two forks, or hands, to shred the meat. Discard any large pieces of fat and the bone.
- Step 4: Discard the grease from the pan. Leave a couple of tablespoons of the fat from the pork roast, or use bacon drippings. Heat the Dutch oven, add the onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes . Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add salt, coriander, cumin, oregano, chile powder, chili seasoning and smoked paprika. Stir just long enough to warm spices until fragrant. About 30 seconds.
- Step 5: Prepare the green chiles by chopping off the tops, splitting them open. Use the back of a paring knife to scraping out seeds. Chop into bite sized pieces and add to the Dutch Oven along with the tomatoes, shredded pork roast and chicken broth.
- Step 6: Stir together and simmer on low, partially covered for at least an hour, and preferably two.
Pro Tip: When cleaning roasted Hatch chile peppers, don’t run them under water to remove the charred skin. Doing so will wash away most of that smoky flavor that comes from the roasting process. Simply remove the burnt skin with your hands. And leaving a few small little patches of that smoky skin will simply add flavor to any green chile recipe.
Tips for Success
- Over Seasoning: Resist the urge to over season this Chili. You want the Hatch chile peppers to be the star of the show.
- Make Ahead: If roasting the pork shoulder a day or two in advance, go ahead and shred the meat before refrigerating. It’s much easier to shred while the meat is still warm.
- Purchase Roasted Chile Peppers: Chile roasting events where chile roasting barrels are fired up and roasting chile peppers are common in our area. Purchasing these peppers are a true convenience if not a luxury.
- Purchase Quality Products: If you’re looking to make an award winning pork green chili recipe, I urge you to always buy quality Chile Seasoning for the single blend of Chile Powder. I used New Mexico Chimayo Red Chile powder or simply powder labeled as New Mexico Red Chile Powder. Ancho chile powder, or cayenne pepper will also work for this recipe. If you use Chipotle Chile Powder, you’ll get a smokier flavor.
How To Serve Hatch Green Chili
- Simply serve green chili with warm flour tortillas for dipping or scooping. Or lightly crush corn tortillas with your hands over the chili for a little crunch.
- A dollop of sour cream or Mexican Crema is always welcome.
- Some chopped cilantro works well here.
- To make it a meal, serve with my recipe for Cheesy Cornbread, or a try this Southwest Salad with Black Beans.
How To Roast Hatch Green Chile Peppers
If you can only find fresh chile peppers, you will have to roast them yourself, which is a very time consuming job.
- Broil: Place chile peppers on a sheet pan and broil until blistered, turn and blister the other side. Place the peppers in a gallon sized zip lock bag, don’t seal and let them steam for about 20 minutes. You can then clean and prep them.
- Grill: I feel a gas grill is an easier option. Simply heat the grill to 400 degrees, then place as many chile peppers as you can fit on the grates. Once blistered on one side, use long tongs to turn and blister on the other side. Place the peppers in a gallon sized zip lock bag, don’t seal and let them steam for about 20 minutes. You can then clean and prep them.
- Air Fryer: If you’re simply wanting roast a small batch of green chiles, an air fryer is a good option. Spray the peppers with oil, then place them in the air fryer. Cook until blistered, then turn and cook the other side. Use the zip lock bag method to steam.
Make Ahead, Freezing and Reheating
- Make Ahead: As with any type of soup style recipe like this, it tastes better the next day or even in two days. Make Hatch Green Chili up to four days in advance. Store in the refrigerator and reheat stovetop when ready to serve. You can also roast the pork shoulder a couple days in advance, shred the meat and then continue with the recipe the day you plan to serve.
- Refrigerate: To refrigerate leftovers, simply place in a sealed container. This green pork chili will keep for up to 5 days. To reheat, a microwave safe soup bowl works great.
- Freezer: As I mentioned, I’ve been known to double this recipe just so I can have a stash of this Hatch Green Chili in the freezer to keep us warm all Winter. I like to store it in half gallon or gallon freeze safe plastic storage bags. Just fill them most of the way to the top, squeeze the air out and seal well. Those bags will lay flat in the freezer to optimize freezer space. They’ll keep for up to 6 months.
Questions You Might Have
Pork shoulder roast or pork BUTT is commonly used to make Hatch Green Chili. More fat = tender and moist. Pork shoulder roasts (also labeled as Boston Butt) are typically sold in 7 – 8 pound packages. Once cooked, fat and bone removed, you’ll end up with about 3 – 4 pounds of shredded pork. I discourage to you use leaner cuts like pork tenderloin or a pork loin roast. The meat will have a dry texture.
Most Hatch Chile peppers are not as hot as a jalapeno pepper. On the other hand they can be as hot as a jalapeno or hotter. Why? There are several varieties of chile peppers grown in the Hatch Valley. And are categorized as Hatch Chile peppers because of the location they’re grown. They’re commonly labeled simply as Mild, Medium and Hot. Easy, let that be your guide.
Many farmer’s markets will set up chile roasting machines to roast peppers on site. If you simply can’t find Hatch Chiles in your area, you can always order them delivered to your doorstep. And they’re already roasted! Yes please! During harvest season, which starts in late August, you can also order fresh chiles and roast them yourself.
Yes, plan on 16 ounces of canned chile peppers, four 4-ounce cans chopped. There are usually about 4 whole peppers in 4-ounce can of chopped peppers. Or use 16 ounces of whole canned chile peppers.
No. Chile Verde is a classic Mexican pork stew in a tangy sauce of tomatillos, green chiles and peppers. The chile peppers routinely used are poblano peppers and jalapeno peppers.
That the beauty of cooking with chile peppers. You can purchase mild, medium, hot and even extra hot peppers. I suggest purchasing medium heat peppers for optimal flavor, or the pork may overpower the overall flavor of the end dish.
Yes, this recipe is easily adapted to a Crock Pot Slow Cooker. You can sear the meat then transfer to a crock pot and cook on low for about 8 hours or until tender. Remove the meat and shred, then continue the recipe instructions. Once all ingredients are assembled and in the crock, cook on low for about 4 hours.

Awesome recipe. Thanks
Thanks for the comment Don. And yay for Green Chile season. 🙂
Hatch pepper time again! This recipe is fantastic and has been a favorite at our house for the last couple of years. I even ordered the Chimayo Chili powder last year. Adds a great flavor that nobody can quite put their finger on. Mostly just their tongues. 🙂 Thanks for a great hatch pepper recipe.
Thanks so much for stopping in and the comment. I’ve not seen any roasters in Denver yet, but it will be very soon. Love this time of year when the aromas of Hatch Chile are in the air.
I think I’m in serious trouble from both your recipe and that tortilla gold mine. Guess where I’m headed this weekend…Ü
I am so glad that I made a white chicken chili tonight for dinner because this would have me starving otherwise.
🙂
I am originally from SW CO but moved to Alaska some years ago. Recently my grocer put out an ad for my favorite chilies, Hatch. You can imagine my elation. So I ran out the door with my news paper in hand to get some. I ended up with a 25 pound case. Never know if Alaska with see such amazing chilies again. After 3 long days of oven roasting and cleaning all of them I was ready for my pot of green chili.
I googled a few things and then resorted to pintrest. Its been so long since I cooked it that I didn’t want to forget something.
Just wanted to say thank you for your post. It was exactly what I had hoped it would be. Pure and simple southwest style green chili with pork. My whole family loved it.
Actually, I can imagine how elated you were to see that ad. I would have been squealing with joy. There is just something about the flavor of these chile’s that can’t be beat.
I can remember years and years ago, when they weren’t available in Denver, we’d jump in the car and drive South into New Mexico and stop at the first road side stand advertising Hatch Chiles. And yes, I’d spend the next two days roasting and freezing. Luckily the markets here now have those big roasters and all I have to do is freeze.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the chili recipe. And thank you for your kind note. I always love hearing from people who have stopped by.
I’ve also posted a Hatch Chile breakfast, a Hatch burger and next up will be Hatch mac and cheese.
Enjoy those chiles.
Thanks Heather. I agree, there is some heat involved in those “mediums”. But I’m pretty sensitive to that and these still have great flavor with just a good amount of bite. Yes you do look excited. I was just standing across the street waiting for you to come out and didn’t realize there was a celebration until I uploaded the photo to my computer later. Love that pic.
Your recipe looks awesome!!! The medium chili’s are HOT this year! Im so glad you use Chimayo- its the BEST chili powder on the planet! Im pretty excited in that picture! LOL!
Looks delicious! Thanks for joining us this week at the Let’s Get Social Sunday link party. Have a wonderful week!
Thanks Diane.
love that last pic! HAH! That’s exactly how I feel this time of year with all the beautiful veggies- yeah!
I was standing across the street with camera pointed at the door waiting for Heather to come out of the store. Love that she was celebrating on that exit. Cute pic.
That looks fantastic, Lea Ann!! Being a huge fan of Hatch green chili’s myself, this is the perfect way to use them in my book!!
Thanks Jenn. Aren’t we lucky that they are accessible to us?
Printing this to try very soon – Montana style – since I have the wrong chilies, but I’ll bet it will be superb with those seasonings! Yum!!
Yes, it will have to be Montana Style since you have no Hatch. Too bad Larry didn’t come here first, I would have sent a supply with him.
Lea Ann, I cold SWIM in this chili! Slow cooking the pork is brilliant! And I’ve never heard of Chamayo Chili Powder . . . I’ll need to use trusty Google to see where to find it ‘over here’ on the non-chili side of the country! Thanks for sharing and I hope you have a wonderful, relaxing Labor Day!
xoxo
Roz
LOL, me too Roz. I learned about Chamayo Chili powder from a cookbook from Santa Fe. I immediately went on the hunt for some and really like it.
There is a local colorado spice store called spice to plate. They make a chimayo chorizo spice. Great in everything.
Thanks for that information Tony!
This looks and sounds awesome Lea Ann and it must go onto the try list.
You must Larry. I’m surprised you’ve never made it …. are you sure?
Great recipe and great photos. I am much better at consuming green chile, which I revere, than I am at producing it but I plan to give this a try. And I’m thinking you Have to have a bit left over to freeze…it might make up for no pickles-to-go on my recent visit. If so please let me know in advance, and I might actually attend Sept wine night.
: )
Nope, we’ve eaten all 5 gallons .. in one week. :::wink
I’ll have to see if I can find a container. 🙂
Your chili looks so delicious, Lea Ann, and I’m so tempted to try it. I can see that you like it much hotter than we do but I’m sure I can scale that back and we will still have a delicious dish. A little bakery down the street from me makes the most delicious tortillas that will be perfect with this.
I’ve read about that bakery/store Cathy. I wish the one I found was just down the street. This is a 45 minute drive. But worth it.
Oh boy, this looks wonderful. My neighbor brought some green chili to a neighborhood get together several years ago and I asked her for the recipe and she turned me down! I think people who don’t share recipes have a special place in hell reserved for them. Well, just like you, I Googled it and made some better than hers. Take that.
Boy I-tell-you… people and their green chile recipes. And LOL about the place reserved in hell. 🙂
That is one good looking stew. I love everything but the name.
At lease the title doesn’t contain the word “Elway”
Lea Ann this looks really good. I tried to make a recipe for hatch green chili last week but it was lacking something…just sort of green and blah. I will take your advice of adding a hot chili powder and tomatoes too when I try it next time.
Don’t rinse the peppers Holly. Just pull off the skins and leave some of the charred. Adds a lot of flavor. Let me know how you like this.
Add some Serano or Habanero chilis. That will spice it up.
Add some Serrano or Habanero chilis. Tthat will spice it up!
Sounds delicious Lea Ann. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a hatch chili. Now I’m on the hunt for them. And homemade tortillas? I need to move out your way.
Sam
You may not be able to find them Sam. Not sure how far east they ship/sell them. You’ll just have to come to Colorado. 🙂
I just found fresh hatch chili’s at Trader Joe’s on the East coast. I made this recipe and it was fantastic. I couldn’t find Chimayo Chili’s so I used ancho. Can you recommend a good store to buy New Mexican products? Especially spices and sauces! Many thanks.
Mauro Farms, Pueblo, Colorado. They ship Pueblo chilis and others everywhere. Spices as well. They have a web site.
Hi Doug – thanks for your messages. Last weekend I was invited to be a Celebrity Judge for the Pueblo Chile Fest. For me, I’ve changes my tune to “Pueblo Chiles rule” What a great event, and great food. I brought home a bushel. Thanks for the Mauro Farms recommendation. As far as those Habanero, I need to cook with them more often – I’ve always been afraid they’re too hot.
Thanks so much Terry. I’m so glad you liked the recipe. Thanks for the compliment and thanks for taking the time to let me know. Ancho is a great substitute for Chimayo.
Im from california, i recently saw advertised in suppermarket it now the sean for hatch chilies My markets this way r Ralph, Stater brothers or alburtson, u may wanna call first to if they have it, thats its now the season It advertise for fresh chilies hatch, or come in a can mild or hot hope that helps
This sounds so delicious! I just happen to have a pork roast in the freezer…now to find the Hatch chiles!
Regular old Anaheims or Big Jims will do. I just happen to prefer the Hatch and they’re readily available for me. Thanks for stopping by Kate.
Very nice recipe, thanks. I have always enjoyed thickening Green Chile with cone tortilla flower (masa harina) instead of corn starch, adds a little tortilla taste.
