What do you do with your bumper crop green tomatoes? Put them in a blender, chop, distribute in Ziploc bags, freeze and then use them for this recipe. Oh so good.
The recipe from this site called for tomatillos which I did not have and so I thought of my frozen blender green tomatoes as a substitute. It gives a different twang from the red ones. I also just used ground beef rather than beef chuck used in the original recipe.
Just enough spiciness and flavor does this chili verde have. So addictive and comforting.
