Directions:Directions 1.Add diced onion and garlic, cook till soft. 1 stick of butter or use (bacon fat has better flavor.) 2.Add flour and stir, browning flour as you would a roux (rue). 3.Add some of your water if flour is too thick, keep stirring till it bubbles. 4.Add chicken broth. 5.Add the rest of the ingredients and bring to a bubble, then turn heat to low. 6.Cook uncovered for @ 1/2 hour, stirring occasionally. 7.If your Chile is too thin, add more flour. 8.If your Chile is too thick, add more chicken broth. 9.Taste often and add more spices or peppers to your liking! 10.If you do not like chunks of tomato or peppers, place the tomatoes and canned diced green Chiles into a blender and puree them! I love it chunky 11.(This is the way I like my sauce. I only add the Pueblo or Poblano peppers whole to my Chile). |

Notes: I roast the peppers and bell peppers on the BB-Q grill until slightly chaired/blackened and cool in a paper bag and peel off some of the waxy coating. I first made this in 2015 for our annual family Christmas Eve tamale dinner and it was a total hit!! It can be served with tacos, over Chimichanga or over crispy rice.
