This is a pretty complicated recipe, that calls for doing lots of preparation, including roasting chilies and tomatillos. The result it worth it though, and I love the combination of flavors. Also all the preparation is at the beginning, and then you just leave it in the crockpot. This works for me, since I do have time to prepare meals, just not necessarily at dinner time. I also really like a chili made with hominy instead of beans, since it gives it a much different taste. I used Anaheim chilies, which aren’t very hot, so if you want to make it spicier you could use a spicier chili. I think this would also work very well as a vegetarian chili, if you just left out the chicken and used vegetable broth.

I live in Tucson, AZ, so this is a wonderfully possible recipe. I too have time and love using my crock pot. How many ounces do you use for the hominy? I love when the HUGE cans go on sale for $1.99…But I’m wondering if you use closer to a ‘regular’ size so that the hominy isn’t all that we’re eating?
