Green Chili Sauce

Patti Hurley's Note:

This recipe is very good and very easy. A co-workers wife gave this to my husband for me years ago, I don't remember the names. But it is great! Use it to smother burritos, rellenos, anything!, or eat it just like this with flour tortillas, YUM! I freeze the left over in serving sizes.

Spicy and delicious. I browned onions and garlice instead of using pork and added cumin and oregano as other reveiwers suggested.

Excellent. I have made it with both pork and chicken and both are fantastic. Gluten free so even my Mom could get involved. A real hit.

Thank you for liberating me from buying overpriced green chili sauces. I can now make my own! I do a vegetarian version and like Bayhill, use cumin (but no sugar). I also saute onions & garlic, and added fresh cilantro and lime juice. Better than I could have imagined, especially now that the Hatch chili roasting season is upon us.
