The Legend of Cripple Creeks Worst Green Chile



And the legend goes a little like this:

An annual green chile cook off in the small mountain town of Cripple Creek Colorado. Melissa Trenary entered her favorite chile recipe. At the taste test it was dubbed, "Cripple Creeks Worst Chile" She then proceeded to sell like a million gallons of it that night at her bar.

Well, if that was the worst, I would have died tasting the best, because this stuff is the bomb. And to boot, it is super easy. The longer you cook it the better. 

Now in my humble opinion this is best on top of cheese enchiladas, complete with enchilada sauce and sour cream. But it is just as yummy in a bowl with cheese, sour cream, and tortilla chips..or the next morning as Migas (a post for later), in or on just about anything that you would like to put it in or on.

So on to the "Worst" green chile on the planet. Which by the way, there are never any leftovers of. 


Cripple Creeks Worst Green Chile

4lbs Pork Roast or Pork Stew meat, floured and browned thoroughly
2 cans Rotel (diced tomatoes if you are wimpy)
2 large cans diced green chiles
(We use fresh roasted green chiles, actually I use equivalent of 3 a mixture of Pueblo, Big Jims, and Anaheim's that have been roasted and skinned)
medium onion, diced
garlic
paprika (smoked is best)
cayenne
white pepper
cumin
12 oz bottle of beer

Combine all in large pot add just a little water, about 2 cups, but I use a crockpot. on medium low and cook all day long.
