This hearty slow cooker stew is loaded with great flavor and texture. I love this dish because while it feels so comforting, it's so nutritious thanks to all of the veggies that cook to tender perfection in the slow cooker.

I love this recipe for a family dinner, especially something fun like a great game day. Set it out with your favorite toppings, like avocado, queso fresco or feta, green onions, jalapeños, limes, and the one side dish I always make with this: cornbread. All of the fun accoutrements really make this feel like a fun and festive lunch or dinner.

The smell of this Chili Verde cooking in my kitchen was awesome and everyone that came through my front door asked what smells soooo wonderful!! The taste was above and beyond my wildest dreams. Delicious, delicious and more delicious! The cornbread was also very good and a great addition to this meal. L.Phillips

I see your comment was quite a while ago so maybe you've already discovered that chili verde is not chili in the mid-western sense. Its called chili verde (green) because of the green chilies used in the recipe. Pablano and the mild green types.

Thank you! I love chili verde and I so appreciate a healthier and still flavorful version! I enjoyed having chilli over pasta for the first time while traveling near Cincinnati, it’s delicious! ❤️

As a Texan born and raised, except for three years in New York, your killing me by calling this “chili,” even beans in chili is sacrilege. I’d love to find a good vegan chili substitute, but you lost me with all the tubers. I’m going to give this a try, but I won’t be addressing it as chili. BTW substituting chili for marinara on pasta is bad from the other direction!
