Chili Verde ( Green Chili ) - got this from my sister

This is a two day process ( for BEST flavor )

In a large crockpot, cook a 2 lb. boneless pork loin roast- Cover the roast with
water ( I add Garlic, Onion and Salt substitute for seasoning but if salt isn't an issue for you, you can add a couple bouillon cubes instead )
Cook on LOW for 8 -10 hrs.
Drain off the fat, pull the pork apart...
The next day,
Thicken the water- either make it into a gravy base
(again, I make my own using Nu-Salt and approx. 2-3 T. King Arthur - Unbleached White Whole Wheat Flour)
but you can use prepackaged dry pork gravy.
[You're just thickening the broth the pork cooked in)
then add:
add 1 large jar of premade salsa ( mild, medium or hot- your choice)
and 2 cans of green chiles ( do not drain )

Cook on LOW for at least 4 hours.

Serve with grated cheese over rice, tortilla chips, fritos, doritos, or in tortilla shells.

YUMMY!!!!
This recipe goes fast, easily doubled ( freezes well)

    I FORGOT to include this:

    When I dump the salsa into the mixture, I fill the jar with water and add it to the pot.

    I also have found it easier to remove the meat from the crockpot ( set it aside in med. bowl)
    then I use a colander and pour the pork broth it's been cooking in,
    into a medium saucepan- THEN I make it into a gravy base
    Pour it back into the crockpot and add the meat, let simmer on LOW until it's heated through.
