As part of 40 Meals in 4 Hours, Crockpot Green Chile Pork Stew is a wonderful meal delivered from the convenience of your slow cooker.
This is another selection from our 40 Meals-4 Hour Crockpot Freezer Cooking post. This one sounded so tempting, I had to make it. I am serving it over brown rice with diced avocados, but it could easily be served with tortillas or cornbread. I made it extra spicy, since I knew the kids would not be eating it.

I lOVE green chili! I’ve never made a green chili stew, but it’s gotta be good! I’m always searching for new crock pot dinners. This is perfect!
This sounds good. Going to save this recipe.
Just a thought. I know I always like the texture and flavor of meat better when it has been browned. By adding just 1 hour to your prep time or less. You could brown all of your pork, chicken ect. and place in bowls to cool. Then divide and add to your freezer meals. Thank You for your post!

I agree!! The Browning of meat adds depth in flavor and seals in the yummy juices 🙂
Made this meal last week as part of the 40 meals / 4 hour collection. It was delicious. We served with corn (or flour) tortillas, sour cream and a little shredded cheese for garnish. I added extra jalepenos as we like it spicier, but overall this was excellent. I didn’t brown he meat first, because I didn’t want to brown it and then freeze it. If I were making it for that day, I might brown. Great recipe!
I don’t eat pork but I want to try this recipe. Do you think it would be just as good with chicken?
I would try it – yum
Absolutely! Anything you can do with pork, you can do with chicken.
Have you ever tried adding potatoes to your green chili stew? I bet that would be a nice addition but not sure how that would work for crock pot. Any suggestions?
no but YUM!
As far as making this as a freezer meal do you wait to add the chicken broth until the day of cooking and do you omit the olive oil and flour from the recipe?
Same question
