Wow, this was fabulous! I used two 16 oz. jars of La Victoria Thick 'n Chunky Salsa Verde and a can of Rotel. I saved a step and did not brown the meat. Served over rice with sour cream and cilantro. Really good! Will wrap some of the leftovers in tortillas for lunch. Can't wait!

I used herdez green salsa and diced jalapenos. It was very tart and very very spicy. I loved how spicy it was but can't imagine anyone else being able to eat it. Very tart..almost needed sugar or something. will try again with different salsa

I made this again using chicken instead and it was perfect. The heat was just right for me. I followed the recipe exactly other than to change the meat and added corn and black beans. My company loved it! The first time i made it with pork i didn't like it as much but it may have been the cut of meat i got. It was way to greasy.You can't go wrong with b/s-less chicken breasts though and definitly try it with black beans and corn. YUM!

My husband and I loved this. The green salsa I bought had a heat rating of hot, so I did not add the Jalepano peppers. I also added 1 teaspoon of cumin and 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder, which I will increase the next time. There was so much gravy that instead of making Spanish or Mexican rice I used some of the gravy to cook my rice in. We ate the pork and rice with sour cream and Mexican cheese wrapped in a tortilla. I will definitely make this again.

Great concept. I couldnt find salsa in cans, tho. The first time I made this I used 3 jars of Herdez green Salsa. We found it a bit bland that way. The second time I monkeyed with the R & D version. I used a large jar of La Victoria green, half a jar of the Herdez--it was leftover in the fridge--a huge sweet onion, lots of chopped garlic and a couple teaspoons of cumin. I omited the tomatoes completely and squeezed the juice of two limes in on top. I let it all cook, covered for 8 hours. Then I broke the meat apart in the sauce and let it simmer another hour uncovered to thicken up the sauce. This one was delicious and everyone at my house deemed it a keeper. We had it the first night served over basmatti rice cooked in chicken stock and lime juice. A dollop of sour cream was the only finish. For leftovers, the kids rolled the rice and beef in burritos with cheese. A super multi-tasking meal that works for my whole family.

I'm rating this based on the modifacations I made. I couldn't find fresh jalapenos or fresh tomatillos so I used the canned version of both which, I realised, made the whole thing turn vinegary and weird. Also, I cooked the recipe on high for 4 hours instead of low for 6-7 hours and it after those 4 hours the meat was hard as a rock. Hoping to get the vinegar to evaporate a little and to get the meat to tenderize, I let it simmer on low overnight (7 hours) and it looked and smelled ok this morning and meat is like butter. So after 11 hours of cooking, I'm still a bit skeptical about the finished product, but I must admit, I really messed it up!

This was a great recipe for a hearty, family meal. Ours came out a little on the spicey side but was still super yummy and the pork was very tender. Next time I'll make sure to use mild salsa and just a regular can of tomatoes and probably leave out the jalapeno entirely. The following are the changes I made: -used two jars of verde salsa (16 oz each) rather than canned salsa -added one can of drained black beans -added one can of drained mexicorn -used one can of diced tomatoes with jalapenos in place of the canned jalapeno and can of tomatoes -cooked the mixture on high for an hour, then on low for 8 hours (while at work) then put it back on high for another hour while I made corn bread added about 3 Tbsp of chopped cilantro added about 2 tsp of cumin I could never have imagined that pork in chili could be so good or that green salsa could make such an excellent base for chili.

This was pretty good. The meat was pretty fatty so I might get a better cut next time. Really good served with warm tortillas. I also added black beans, corn, cumin, and coriander as recommended by some previous reviews. I also used much less jalapenos.

This was a very helpful recipe. I did minor adjustments, the biggest one being that I used beef instead of pork. I also added the cumin, red pepper flakes, and used fresh peppers. This was actually my first "real" dish I've ever prepared and it came out fantastic. My husband was shocked in amazement that I cooked for him! It was perfectly spicy and just wonderful. I will make it again!

This was good. But, I agree with the others.. reduce the amount of salsa. Also, its a MUST to add black beans, corn, lime, and cilantro (without these ingredients, it'd be bland)

Very good. This is supposed to be a bit soupe, it is a version og "Guisado". Use one less can of salsa, add black beans, mexicorn, cumin, corriander, and cilantro. Use the jalapenos at your discretion. You can always add more!
