This Colorado Green Chili Recipe is made with tender shredded pork shoulder, roasted Hatch green chiles, tomatoes and and a unique blend of spices. I’ve been making this version since 1979, refining it over decades and entering it in Colorado green chili competitions, consistently placing near the top. Colorado-style green chili is a hearty pork stew built around roasted green chiles, and it’s just as good served in a bowl as it is smothered over burritos, eggs or fries.

What Is Colorado Green Chili?
Colorado Green Chile is a hearty stew-like soup that contains shredded pork, roasted green chile peppers, tomatoes and a stellar line up of warming spices. It can be eaten like a soup or used to smother burritos or enchiladas. “Smothered” simply means to add an ample amount of green chili on top of the food. Popular in our area, practically every Mexican restaurant in Colorado serves a version of Pork Green Chili.
What makes Colorado Green Chili different than New Mexico Green Chili? New Mexican green chile preparations can be much simpler and more chile pepper forward, and lacks tomatoes. Recipes can vary, but It traditionally doesn’t include pork. Heading North, Green chili transforms into a thicker soup or stew with the addition of pork roast, tomatoes and warming spices. It’s a thicker stew/sauce consistency.
Why Is Pork Used In Colorado Green Chili? Simply to turn it into a heartier meaty version of green chili.
Why Is This Recipe Different?
This is my Colorado-style pork green chili recipe, developed over more than 40 years
- It’s based on a recipe I’ve been making since 1979. I’ve tested and refined the recipe over these years for a competition worthy version.
- My recipe starts with a whole pork shoulder roast, rather than lean cubes of pork. I give the roast a good browning sear, then slow-roast it in the oven until it’s tender enough to practically shred itself. As it cooks, the pork develops rich, gelatin-filled juices and deep roasted flavor. Once shredded, the pork goes into the green chili and simmers again, allowing it to soak up the roasted chile, tomatoes and Southwestern spices. The result is tender, deeply flavored pork woven throughout the chili, with a richness and texture that’s difficult to achieve with quick-cooked cubes of leaner pork.
- The Hatch chiles are roasted before going into the pot.
- My distinctive Southwestern spice blend includes coriander, Mexican oregano, Chimayo chile powder and smoked paprika.
- It’s designed to be eaten as both a stew and a Colorado-style smothering sauce.
Each Fall, we celebrate the arrival of Chile peppers from the Hatch Valley. We evangeliae, we obsess when parking lots and roadside stands all over Colorado fire up their chile roasting drums and the aromas of New Mexico fill the air.
We like to serve this for game days, Colorado snow days, feeding a crowd and batch cooking freezer meals.
Where Did I Get This Recipe?
Back in 1979 I had my first introduction to this incredible Green Chili 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 Colorado Green Chili recipe has developed into my own. With countless tweaks and testing, has turned into an award winning Hatch Green Chili Recipe.
What Are The Best Chile Peppers To Use?
You can roast any variety of chile peppers to make this recipe. But if you can get your hands on Chile Peppers from the Hatch Valley of New Mexico, they are my first choice to make this recipe. Hatch green chiles are grown in New Mexico’s Hatch Valley, and are key to making Colorado green chili a very popular dish throughout Colorado.They are prized for their meaty flesh and distinctive roasted flavor.
You can also make this recipe Colorado-grown Pueblo chiles (a hotter, spicier chile pepper,) but the flavor will vary mostly in the spicy area. To learn more, check out my article on Pueblo Chile vs. Hatch Chile.
The most important thing is to use a chile you enjoy eating and to choose the heat level that suits you. I highly recommend using fresh roasted, but canned Hatch green chiles work when fresh aren’t available.
Key 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 for additional flavor when cooking onions.
- Tomatoes: Chopped canned tomatoes work well here, better yet, chopped fresh tomatoes.
- Chile vs Chili: Please note this recipe calls for Chili powder seasoning (with an i) and New Mexico Chimayo Chile Powder. Chili seasoning is a blend of spices used to make Tex-Mex style chili soups like my recipe for Cowboy Chili . 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 What Is Chile Powder.
- Spices: Cumin, Coriander, Mexican Oregano, Smoked Paprika. Use coriander seed or ground coriander.
- Hatch Chile Peppers, roasted, cleaned and chopped.
- Lime Wedges: The acidity from a squeeze of lime will enhance and brighten the flavor.
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 Mexican oregano and will bring a sweet undertone to any recipe.
How To Make Colorado Green Chili
- Step 1: Pat the pork roast 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 195 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 pan seared seared steak, like my recipe for Denver Steak, 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: 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. Blooming the spices is a trick I learned in Culinary School. It truly brings out the best in the flavors.
- 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.
How To Roast Hatch Green Chile Peppers
If you can only find fresh chile peppers, you will have to roast them yourself by grill or oven.
- Roast until the skins blister and charred.
- Turn as needed so the peppers roast evenly.
- Place them in a covered bowl or sealed container to steam.
- Peel away the loose skins. Remove stems and seeds according to desired heat.
- Chop and add them to the chili.
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 oils and smoky flavor that come 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 recipe using green chiles.
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, 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 a quality blend of Chile Powder. I used New Mexico Chimayo Chile powder or simply powder labeled as New Mexico Red Chile Powder. Ancho chile powder, or cayenne pepper will also work for this recipe.
How To Serve It
- 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.
- I love to serve this for breakfast: a simple flour tortilla smeared with refried beans, a healthy spoonful of green chili and topped with a fried egg. Check out my recipe for Green Chile With Eggs. And my Green Chile Smothered Breakfast Burritos.
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 this 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.
Colorado Green Chili, FAQ’s
I always use a pork shoulder roast, also called pork butt, for this recipe. The marbling and higher fat content keep the pork moist and tender through the long roasting time, while the connective tissue breaks down into rich, flavorful juices. Pork shoulder roasts are often sold in 7- to 8-pound packages. After removing the bone and rendered fat, you'll have about 3 to 4 pounds of juicy, tender shredded pork for the chili.
I don’t recommend leaner cuts such as pork tenderloin or pork loin roast. They don’t have enough fat or connective tissue to stay as tender during the long cooking process and can become dry. I learned this firsthand at a Colorado restaurant that touted its green chili as the "best" because it used pork tenderloin. While the chili itself had plenty of flavor, the lean pork was noticeably dry. For this recipe, pork shoulder is what gives the chili its rich, succulent texture.
It’s very common for people to confuse the words chile (with an e) and Chili (with an “i”). Hatch green chile is a pepper. Colorado Green Chili is the finished dish using peppers.
It’s an entirely different dish. Verde simply translates to “green”. Chile Verde contains pork and chile peppers. The difference being the addition of tomatillos and the absence of tomatoes.Chile verde is more of Mexican food dish, tangier with a different flavor architecture. Colorado Green Chili is a Colorado inspired dish, green chile forward and commonly served smothered.
Yes, plan on 16 ounces of canned chopped chile peppers. There are usually about 4 whole peppers in 4-ounce can of chopped 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.
Colorado green chili can range from brothy to thick enough to ladle over a burrito. My preferred consistency is a hearty stew that clings to the pork rather than a thin soup. That’s why I use a cornstarch slurry.
Yes you can. Even though I prefer the Dutch Oven method, cooking a pork roast 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. You’ll still need to finish the recipe stove-top.

- 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.
- Yield: Pork roasts vary. Some may be fattier. In the end, after cooked and once the bone is removed and fat has rendered, a 7 pound pork roast will yield about 3 pounds of shredded meat.
- Chile Pepper Prep: DO NOT rinse the chiles under water to clean. You rinse away that roasted flavor. Simply use your hands to slide away the charred roasted skin of the chiles and the back of a knife to remove seeds from the inside of the chile peppers.

This is hands down my favorite green Chile recipe, and I’ve tried A LOT. I used pork loin because I found the pork shoulder to be a bit rich for my taste, but that’s just me. Thanks so much for the excellent recipe!
I used your recipe last year and absolutely loved it. The hatch Chile’s just came in at our local Kroger and pork shoulders are on sale for $.99 a pound. How convenient. I’m going up to purchase about 10 to 15 pounds of hatch Chile’s. While roasting my shoulders I’ll char my Chile’s on the grill. Thanks so much for this recipe.
Looks delicious but green chile Colorado style is confusing. Colorado means red chile. But I figured out you mean the state. I grew up in NM with all our summers in CO.
Hi Katy and thanks for your note. I totally agree about the “Colorado” reference. That’s why I put “Colorado-Style”. Hopefully people will be able to figure that out.
Perfect Hatch Chili recipe. Delicious.
I haven’t tried this yet, but it looks great! Headed to the store to pick up peppers! Looking forward to seeing more recipes!
I used chicken breast because I happened to have everything but the pork. It still turned out amazing. Thanks for this
Did you use bone in?
Yes I do. Using a bone in pork roast will add more flavor to the shredded meat. Please note, you can use a bone in or boneless pork roast for this recipe. Let me know if you have any more quesitons.
The most tender pork! Smooth flavor.
Love this! I used a pork loin that I shredded after cooking in the instapot because we are on a low fat diet and threw it all in a crockpot. It came out so so good! Thank you!
Wow! This recipe is absolutely amazing!!! Flavorful and delicious. Thank you so much for posting
If I don’t have a dutch oven can I cook the pork in my crockpot?
Absolutely. I’ve done it that way many times.
When cooking the crockpot would you put everything in at once?
Or still cook the roast separate for 3 hours then add all the ingredients for another hour in the crockpot?
The problem with putting everything in at once, is the fat content in the pork roast. It will turn out very greasy, unless you refrigerate overnight after you cook it, and then skim the fat from the top.
Use a pork loin roast, that’s less fatty. I’ve done that and added everything at once in a crockpot.
If you’re going to use a pork BUTT shoulder roast, I’d roast it in the oven and then shred the meat and then finish in the crockpot.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
I have to admit I happily borrow recipes all the time but never bother to leave comments.
This was amazing.
I used a tsp of ancho chili powder and another of plain ole chili p. My hatch peppers were HOT so I used about 12, carefully removed seeds, and supplemented with a few poblanos. The multiple colors and textures were definitely additive for me.
Will definitely make again!! Sad there isn’t as much to freeze as I hoped…! Many thanks for sharing this recipe.
Hi Monica. Thanks so much for your email. I like ancho chile powder. It’s my 2nd choice after anything from New Mexico. And I like how you added poblano peppers. They add a unique flavor. Nice combo of chile pepper choices. Not enough to freeze? You’ll have to make another batch. 😉
Sooooo good!! I love this recipe it’s my favorite green Chile ever.. thanks for the recipe
I made CO quarantine Chile Verde in my new old home of Carlsbad, CA. Your base recipe is delicious and of course I had to make it my own. Used some of the fat in the Dutch Oven vs. Bacon Drippings, Roasted all of my Chiles on the grill (Anaheim, Poblano and Jalapeño) along with half of a red & white onion, and 2 Roma tomatoes I left the other halves on onion un-roasted, added Black Pepper and and some Costco No Salt Salt. Can’t wait for leftovers today. Happy Easter! Missing Colorado…
I am planning on making a pot of ground elk/ bison with Hatch Green Chili for Super Bowl. What do you think about using your recipe and substituting for pork?
Hatch green chile for Super Bowl is always a great idea. And any type of meat would make a good substitute. Of course the cooking time will reduce dramatically. This recipe calls for a cut of meat that need to be slow roasted. For ground meat, brown it separately, then make the stew and let it simmer for about an hour. Then add the ground meat and let the flavors marry for about 30 minutes.
Made this for a New Year’s Day treat – it is DELICIOUS! Thank you for such a great recipe.
Amy, thank you so much for taking the time to write a note about your experience with the Green Chili. So glad you liked it. 🙂
We love Hatch chili so much that we’re planning a trip to their festival next year. I’ll be putting this on our menu!
Great recipe — I made it tonight with New Mexico big Jims and Jalapenos that I grew in my garden here in Calaveras County and roasted on the BBQ, and with a Pork butt that I smoked on the BBQ — turned out delicious!!
Hi Paul, and thanks so much for taking the time to come back and let me know. So glad you were pleased with the recipe. 🙂
Made this last night and it is DELICIOUS!!!!
One question do you use or discard all the juices from the pork shoulder?
Hi Christopher. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment. And so glad you liked the recipe. Those juices are pretty greasy if you’re using a pork shoulder. If I feel like taking the time to strain the fat, I’ll use them in the chili. But if I’m feeling lazy, I throw it out.
I’m making this on Wednesday with the pork shoulder on my smoker at 225F for many hours.
I purchased 3 lbs of fresh hatch chiles here in Denver. But they are hotter than I expected. How can I keep the delicious flavor of the chilis without burning my insides? Could I use maybe use half of them with some other substitute?
Also, I see a lot of green chili recipes that use tomatillos instead of traditional red tomatoes. Have you used both? Thoughts?
Hi Gregg, smoking that pork shoulder will make that chili so good. Please let me know how it turns out. Keep in mind, if you take the time to remove veins and seeds, that will lessen the heat a bit. I always like Poblano Peppers. They can be a little unreliable with heat, but almost always milder than Hatch or our Colorado Pueblo Chile Peppers. I like tomatillos. They do add quite a “tangy” flavor. It would change the flavor profile of this dish. For me, and Green Chile, I’ll stick with red tomatoes. I’d save those tomatillos for green salsa. Let me know if you have any other questions.
I am planning on making this recipe in late September. Hatch chilis are coming to South Dakota now, even, so I’m hoping it turns out well. I’ll keep you posted! I miss Santiago’s green chili. But I’m a 1/2 and 1/2 girl.. 😀
Fabulous! So glad you’re getting those chile peppers. Please let me know how you like it.
I was introduced to hatch chiles by my uncle who grew up in New Mexico. He lives in Idaho now and orders them. I was pleasantly shocked to see them at our local specialty grocer here in WI this past weekend. I made your recipe today in my electric pressure cooker and it turned out even better than I had hoped for! I didn’t have the specialty chile powder but it still tastes amazing just with the regular kind. I can’t wait to try this on a breakfast burrito. Thank you so much for this recipe!
I was in Aspen this winter and went to a BBQ place and ate a delicious green chile pulled pork soup, and I’ve obsessed over it ever since. After a thorough internet search, I landed on your recipe.
I tried it last night, and it was epic! my guests loved it too!
And loved it again this morning, in an omelette.
I used canned Hatch green chiles since that’s all I can find here in Ca, but I’m going to chase some fresh ones in the fall and make this again.
I’ve poked around your site, and am going to try other recipes as well.
Thank you for a great recipe!
Hi Cat. You don’t know how much I appreciate you taking the time to let me know about your experience with this Green Chili. And I love your omelette idea. Those canned Hatch Chiles are great for those who don’t have access to the real deal. I’ve used them.
