Ingredients

  • 1 lb white beans, soaked overnight rinsed, and strained
  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 1/2 lb green chili
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely minuced
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 1 (8 ounce) can chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Method

  • Brown ground pork and strain grease (although when I've been in a hurry, I've skipped this step and put it in the crock pot raw and it didn't ultimately hurt the flavor at all).
  • Rinse and strain beans
  • Combine all ingredients in crockpot, adding however much water the bag of beans directs (include the chicken broth in this measurement)
  • *Note - you can use canned green chiles (if so, use about 3 cans) or fresh Hatch green chiles, when in season!
  • Stir ingredients, set crockpot to high, let simmer on high for about 30 minutes.
  • Turn crockpot to low, let cook as long as needed, I usually do about 8 hours, although it'd be ready to eat around 6 hours.
