24 ounces chicken broth (approximately)
-
1 (12 ounce) can Rotel tomatoes & chilies
-
1 cup water
-
1 teaspoon cumin
-
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
-
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
-
1 teaspoon Season-All salt
-
1 teaspoon fresh cilantro or 1 teaspoon dried cilantro
-
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
-
2 garlic cloves, crushed
-
1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper
-
1/4 cup flour (approx.)
-
1 small yellow onion
-
1 -2 lb pork (diced or ground)
-
3 -4 serrano chilies, diced (depending on how hot you want your chile, don't add if you want mild chile)
Instructions
- In large stainless kettle, brown pork in bacon fat or vegetable oil.
- (bacon fat has better flavor.) Cook on medium heat till meat is slightly pink.
- Add diced onion and garlic, cook till soft.
- Add flour and stir, browning flour as you would a roux (rue).
- Add some of your water if flour is too thick, keep stirring till it bubbles.
- Add chicken broth.
- Add the rest of the ingredients and bring to a bubble, then turn heat to low.
- Cook uncovered for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally.
- If your chile is too thin, add more flour.
- If your chile is too thick, add more chicken broth.
- Taste often and add more spices or peppers to your liking!
- If you do not like chunks of tomato or peppers, place the RoTel, tomatoes and canned diced green chile's into a blender and puree them!
- (This is the way I like my sauce. I only add the Pueblo or Poblano peppers whole to my chile).
