Slow Cooker Chile Verde is a simple meal made from slow pork tenderloin cooked in green chile sauce with roasted poblano peppers.
Get your slow cooker ready because this chile verde with tender pork is a recipe you’ll want to make all through the cold-weather months. Serve it in a bowl with your favorite chile toppings, or use it as a sauce for smothered burritos or enchiladas. It’s always a winner with my family and will be for yours, too.

We love green chile!!! We have tried several different recipes, and this one is our absolute favorite.
My Favorite Kitchen Tools To Make This Recipe
From trusty pots and pans to handy gadgets, Iโve curated a list of products I use and love.
My daughter, Jersey, asks for this pork chile at least once a month. We make it all year, but it is perfect for chilly, cold days. Plus, it’s a slow cooker green chile recipe – you will love how easy it is.
The best pairing is the bright, flavorful sauce with the tender, juicy pork. It’s a mouthwatering and winning combination, bringing you the best chile verde you will ever have.
I also streamlined the steps for making the sauce. Instead of roasting the peppers in the oven (a time-consuming task), I saute them on the stove until they are softened and lightly charred. The flavor is still great and easier – that’s always a win over here in my kitchen.

- In the same skillet that you seared the pork in (do not clean it out), add the onion, peppers, and garlic. Saute until charred and tender, stirring occasionally.

- Serve with tortillas, shredded cheese, sour cream, and cilantro for garnish if desired. Enjoy!

Have you ever tried using steak like ribeye in a green chile recipe? I know it goes against the grain, but i wonder if it would give it a different flavor profile.
Wow, I love this suggestion and will be trying very soon! xo San
