Crock Pot Chile Verde

CJAY's Note:

I learned to make this when I was a cook at a locally owned family restaurant many years ago. We served it with refried beans, mexican rice and flour tortillas. I've scaled this down to serve 8.

Very good and easy but not for the timid! Served with cornbread and cheese for a wonderful dinner! Thanks for sharing!
