An easy, smokey and spicy green chile sauce ideal for smothering meats or burritos and also good in a bowl by itself.
Ingredients
  • 8 slices bacon
  • ¼ cup minced onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups water
  • 2 cups diced mild or medium roasted green chile
  • 1 14.5 oz can diced or stewed tomatoes
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp white pepper
  • ½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch dissolved in ¼ c water
  • additional salt and white pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Brown the bacon over medium heat in a large pot or high-sided skillet until starting to crisp; remove bacon onto a paper towel and pour off all but about a tablespoon of bacon fat.
  2. Cook onion a few minutes until soft, then add the garlic and cook another minute.
  3. Still over medium heat, add the water, green chiles, tomatoes, salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
  4. Crumble the bacon into small bits and add. Add the cornstarch, and cook for 5 to 10 minutes more; the sauce should be thickened, but pourable.
  5. Serve warm with burritos, enchiladas, eggs, nachos, or by itself as a stew.
  6. Keeps well in the fridge for 3-4 days and freezes well.
  7. Enjoy!
