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.

Best recipe ever!!!! The peppers came to MINNESOTA via whole foods. I was able to get the chimayo Chile on eBay from a guy that lives in Colorado. Thank you for a fantastic recipe!!!!
Fabulous Robert! And so glad you found some Chimayo Chile Powder. It can be hard to come by.
Could cubed potatoes be added he this? The best green Chile stew I’ve ever had was in Castlerock, CO and I believe it had diced potatoes.
How would this affect the cooking time and thickness?
Absolutely Marsha. I have added potatoes to this.
Looking forward to making this. When you refer to 1 1/2 T coriander, are you referring to cilantro, ground coriander, or coriander seeds?
Actually I use ground coriander. And I like to garnish with a little bit of fresh cilantro. I think the flavors differ, so both are welcome. And if you want to substitute coriander seeds, I’d toast them a bit and them crush them.
Thank you! So 1 1/2 tablespoons ground coriander is correct not 1 1/2 teaspoons? I’m making it now and the house smells amazing.
Now you’ve got me 2nd guessing. Did you put 1 1/2 Tablespoons? I had someone else question that amount about a year ago.
I put that much but would love to hear your thoughts.
Thank you for this recipe! I have tried it twice, and it’s a definite keeper! I also live in Colorado, and found the 1st roasted green chilis in the frozen food isle of King Soopers (aka Kroger, to our east coast friends.) My hubby likes it hot, so I also added a can of diced jalapenos to my first attempt. No complaints; great recipe as written.
Tonight, I tuned it up a notch; Denver’s Mile High Flea Market had booths with fresh roasted chilis. I bought three, 1 gallon zip-locks of fresh roasted hatch chilis at $2.50/bag. I made the recipe as written, after dicing all 30, banana sized, roasted chilis. Their charred skins gummed up my knife every 5th chili- be prepared with a paper towel. Since we like it spicy, I also added 1/2 jalapeno, and a dash of habenero. It is very hot, so the added peppers arent recommended! We use this chili on egg and potato breakfast burritos.. Yum!
Thanks Stacie. I’m so glad you like the recipe. And thanks for the info about the flea market. One more resource. Enjoy those chiles 🙂
Does anyone have a good place to get authentic chimayo chili powder?????? Hard to tell what’s what from searching on Google.
Thanks!
I don’t. But I’ll be making a trip soon to the town of Chimayo. I’ll have my hands on authentic.
This might work for you. http://www.madeinnewmexico.com/products/new-mexico-red-chile/red-chile-powders/los-chileros-chimayo-blend-chile
Thank you Greg.
I buy it from the Village of Chimayo – and I’m certain it’s authentic. I know that doesn’t help much. But you might try to contact the trading post next to the church.
Hey Lee Ann,
I am entered in a Chile contest and was thinking about cubing the pork…would you use the same cut of meat?
Yes, pork shoulder.
BTW, there is no need to drive all the way to Brighton for homemade tortillas. There are several places on So. Federal. We go to Las Tres Americas on Federal and Evans for both flour and corn tortillas. And yes, they are still warm when you get them.
Hello Lea Ann,
Huge fan of green chili, don’t know when I first had it – sometime when I was a kid, but I’ve always loved it. My husband is a Rep for Sandhill Scientific, in Highlands Ranch, CO and we visit most summers. Love Colorado and the Southwest/West in general. I try green chili wherever I find it out West, always searching for the best. I make a Green Chile Pork Stew that I just sort of pieced together over the years. Very similar to your recipe. I sometimes serve it pretty straight and sometimes add hominy and black beans to round it out a bit more. Depends on my mood. Anyway, delighted to find your site and look forward to learning from you. I saw the Chimayo Chili Powder mentioned and did a bit of research online. There seem to be a few purveyors, but wildly different prices and availability. I’m wondering if some of these outlets might be selling “contraband” or “faux” Chimayo Chili Powder? I usually buy my spices from Penzeys or Savory Spice but have not see that particular one. I’d love to try the real deal and am searching for a reputable dealer. Would you be willing to part with the name or site where you purchase yours and is it available online? Thanks in advance if you can part with it!
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B073MNYJPT/ref=mp_s_a_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1505528626&sr=8-2&keywords=chimayo+chile+powder&dpPl=1&dpID=3181HpOOUtL&ref=plSrch. Here’s a place to get real Chimayo chile powder.
Based on the 1 review of that product, I am suspect it is authentic chimayo or not.
Hi Amy. Thanks so much for your note. I’ve heard some bad rumors about fake Chimayo chile powder. I’m so leery that I’ll only buy it from the village of Chimayo. At the trading post next to the church.
I’ve been looking for a recipe like This! Very similar to my ex husband’s that I love but he won’t share the recipe….
Question… how many cups or weight does the green chilies amount to? I have quite a bit of frozen that is already chopped, etc…
Thanks!
This was very good but WAY too much thyme. I would probably omit completely next time around. Also, added extra cup of sharp cheddar. TY!
Excited to try this!! Is the 1½ tablespoons coriander ground coriander seed or meant to be fresh cilantro? I presumed it was ground coriander seed and that seems rather intense and overwhelming.
This was my question. I love the sound of the recipe but I don’t like the assumptions people make when writing. Is it cilantro? Is it ground coriander, seed? Sooo frustrating especially with something cooking that long. I’m guessing it’s ground but hats so much.
Hi Bret: It’s Ground Coriander. I’ll change the recipe. Thanks for pointing that out. I do like to add fresh Cilantro at the end however. Following the rule: dried spices at the beginning of the cooking stage and fresh at the very end.
I am about to try your Hatch Green Chili, Colorado Style recipe. When previewing the recipe, I had the same questions about the coriander…fresh cilantro, whole coriander seed, or ground coriander? I searched the comments to see if anyone asked the question previously and found my answer. I noticed you were going to clarify the online recipe but it still says “coriander” and does not specify what form. This is just a friendly reminder to update the recipe.
It sounds like tomorrow is supposed to bring our first chilly blast of fall weather and this seemed like the perfect recipe for a chilly Sunday afternoon. Can’t wait to try it!
Thanks so much Deb. I appreciate that heads up.
Hi there – I made your green chile tonight. It is so delicious, very welll-balanced. I didn’t have any Chimayo chile on hand, but I’d read about chimayo’s citrus notes so subbed NM Chile and added a scant amount of orange zest. It’s like a touch of sunshine n the pot. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
Thanks so much for your note and I’m so glad you liked it. Love..love..love your idea with the orange zest. Here’s to a delicious Sunday.
I made this for our annual green chili cook off. I doubled the liquids and spices after a trial run to make sure it was the consistency that I knew the “judges” would expect. I WON!!! Thank you so much, this is delish and have already tried it with turkey (pork is def better). It’s a new staple! ?
I made this yesterday and this was delicious. I had medium Hatch chiles and boy was it spicy! The only thing I changed was the amount of pork. I used 1.5 pounds rather than the 4 the recipe calls for. It was still very meaty, so I was surprised the recipe calls for 4 pounds.
There is a lot of fat and bone weight in a pork shoulder. Once the pork is shredded, I’m not sure of the final weight.
I just made this last night. I had almost all of the ingredients. I looooovvvveeeee it!!!! Thanks for sharing this!!!
Thank you so very much! And I appreciate that you took the time to let me know. High Five!
Hi I am.currectly preparing this dish and its simmering away. But i still have my lime left…. I read over the directions several times but I may still be missing it, where does the lime juice come in? Add at the end?
Add at the end. Thanks for letting me know, I’ll change it. I make so much Mexican food, there’s always a lime involved. 🙂
Could I cook roast in a pressure cooker to save time?
Absolutely. I need to use my pressure cooker more, you’ve given me a great idea.
I made this recipe in my crock pot, very tender & delicious
Fabulous – and thanks so much for letting me know. And yes, it works well in the Crockpot – I’ve made it that way several times.
I found Hatch chiles at Hy-Vee in Minneapolis this weekend! I was thrilled! Guess what I am doing today? You guessed it! Thanks for the great recipe,
Yay, what a great find. Enjoy!
Made this to represent the Broncos at our Super Bowl party. Very well received. Thank you. We’re looking forward to having the leftovers for breakfast served with an over-easy egg on top and tortillas.
Perfect! Love this served exactly the way you’re going to serve it.
This recipe looks amazing..can’t wait to try it!! Thanks for sharing~
You’re welcome Liz. Happy Holidays.
I live in Highlands Ranch, CO and just discovered your blog. I LOVE green chili with Brewery Bar being my favorite while eating out right now (it changes). I am planning on trying your recipe but was wondering, where near Highlands Ranch do you find your chilies? I’m ready to make your dip and other recipes too! I better buy a bunch!
Thanks so much for stopping in and the comment. An email is on it’s way.
Wilmore Nursery has a roasting station. It’s on County Line just east of Broadway.
Thank you so much for this recipe. I used to live in Colorado in Fort Collins and loved the Green Chili at one of the restaurants there, the BEST green chili I have ever tasted. This one sounds very much like the one there.
Thank you Ginger. We’ve had a beautiful Colorado late Summer here. I think you’d be missing Ft. Collins right now if you only knew. 🙂 Thanks so much for stopping in and for the comment.
I’m in FoCo..which restaurant?? 🙂
