For an even deeper flavor, consider searing the pork the day before and letting it sit in the refrigerator overnight. Adjust the amount of serrano pepper to control the spiciness of the chili. If you can't find Hatch chiles, substitute with other roasted green chiles or poblano peppers. Serve with warm tortillas or cornbread for a complete meal.

Follow The Directions
01
StepLightly coat the inside of a slow cooker with about 1 tablespoon of oil and set it to Low. (Time: 2 minutes)
02
StepIn a bowl, thoroughly combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, 1 teaspoon of cumin, onion powder, chili powder, and cayenne pepper. Generously rub this spice mixture all over the pork. Then, evenly coat the pork with cornstarch, patting it to ensure full coverage. (Time: 5 minutes)
03
StepHeat the remaining oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork on all sides until deeply browned, almost black, ensuring a rich, caramelized crust. (Time: 5 minutes)
04
StepTransfer the seared pork to the slow cooker. (Time: 1 minute)
05
StepReduce the skillet heat to medium and pour in the beef stock. Whisk vigorously to deglaze the pan, scraping up all the flavorful browned bits. Bring to a gentle boil and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes. Strain the stock into the slow cooker, then add the green salsa, diced Hatch chiles, diced tomatoes, and potatoes. (Time: 10 minutes)
06
StepIn a blender, combine the tomatillos, half of the chopped cilantro, jalapeño pepper, Anaheim pepper, serrano pepper, remaining cumin, and liquid smoke. Blend on high speed until smooth. Pour the mixture into the slow cooker. (Time: 5 minutes)
07
StepCover the slow cooker and cook on Low for 8 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and deepen. (Time: 8 hours)
08
StepCarefully remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded meat to the slow cooker and season with additional salt and pepper to taste. (Time: 10 minutes)
09
StepServe the chili in bowls, garnished with shredded Mexican cheese, sour cream, and the remaining fresh cilantro. (Time: 3 minutes)
