A basic chili that depends on your green chiles. You can roast them yourself for extra smoky flavor. The canned kind works out pretty well, too. Inspired by Johnny V.’s “Pueblo Chili.”

Ready in: 8 hours 30 mins

Ingredients

Serves: 6

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 pound pork, diced

1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then cook the pork in the hot oil until browned, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and onion and continue cooking until onions are translucent, about 10 more minutes.

2. Drain off fat and transfer pork/veggies mixture to a 6-quart slow cooker. Add remaining ingredients. Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours.Tip

To thicken the chili, combine 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl. Slowly stir cornstarch mixture into stew with slow cooker set to HIGH, then repeat until desired thickness is reached.
