Cooking and chatting today! I’m making smothered burritos with homemade
Colorado Pork Green Chili. Around here this is some true comfort food! Serve it in a bowl if you like with tortilla chips on the side of fresh homemade tortillas. Better yet make a slopper! A slopper is something I have never seen anywhere but Pueblo, Colorado. It’s an open face burger smothered in pork green chili and topped with shredded cheddar cheese, iceberg lettuce, and diced tomatoes. Delicious!
COLORADO PORK GREEN CHILI RECIPE:
Ingredients:
1.5 lbs of diced pork stew meat
Ā¼ cup lard
Ā½ cup diced sweet or white onion
Ā½ cup all-purpose flour
4-6 cups chicken stock (enough to come Ā¾ of the way up the pan)
1 cup diced pueblo chiles
Salt and pepper to taste
Ā¼-Ā½ tsp. Chipotle seasoning (OPTIONAL~adds more heat if needed)
1-2 cups diced tomatoes
2 cloves grated garlic
Instructions:
1. Heat skillet on medium heat. Add lard.
2. When lard has melted add pork and cook until browned.
3. Add onions and saute until translucent.
4. Sprinkle flour over pork and onion mixture and stir.
5. Cook the flour until it smells nutty and starts to stick a bit to the pan.
6. Pour in chicken stock and deglaze the pan by scraping up all that brown flavor on the bottom. Stir occasionally until all the brown bits are scraped from the bottom of the pan.
7. Add green chiles, salt, pepper, and chipotle if needed. Simmer for about 20 minutes stirring occasionally until the mixture has thickened.
8. Add about Ā½ the diced tomatoes and simmer another 5 minutes or so until you have reached the desired thickness.
Enjoy!

***I do not, in ANY WAY, recommend the silicone hot handle holders!! In my opinion, they are a waste of money. They don’t fit well and slide around which is ridiculously dangerous. Also, they offer almost no heat protection. I am surprised that lodge continues to make them!***
LODGE LEATHER HOT HANDLE HOLDER, SPIRAL STITCHED:
***this handle holder has a spiral stitch around the outside which is different than the handle holder I have. I can’t speak to the quality of the stitching. lodgecastiron.com only carries the spiral stitched. š ***
