We’ve been going to Chuy’s for years. This sauce is one of our favorites to munch on with chips at the restaurant and we always got some to go. I made it yesterday and its a SPOT on clone! It’s best served warm (with chips). I also made some enchiladas with it. A keeper. TY for posting. So lucky to live in CO and get fresh Hatch chiles every summer.

Overall a great recipe to follow and sauce is amazing. The only thing I do differently is that I add about 3/4 teaspoon of brown sugar to the onions to get that extra carmelization going and then add the garlic and sauté another 2 minutes. I also get fresh roasted hatch green chiles from the actual Hatch, NM local market as I have a friend who frequents Hatch for work and picks me up a few canned jars. Great hatch green chile recipe!

This stuff ROCKS! I have frozen roasted hatch chiles. So the was a breeze to make. We are addicted. I used this for a base on my chicken enchilada pizza. So I used chicken broth instead of beef. So yummy. Thanks!

I have been using this green chile sauce for quite some time. It is unquestionable THE BEST green chile sauce. The only substitutions I make is I use chicken broth instead of beef broth because I use the sauce to make green chile, chicken enchiladas. I also cheat on the chile from time to time. Most grocery stores sell frozen roasted chopped green chile. It is a great time saver and makes the sauce so simple to make. Just be sure to thaw and drain completely when using as a substitute. Thanks for the Awesome recipe!
