Crock Pot Chile Verde

This is a super easy and delicious Chile Verde. We make a great Chile Verde from scratch with fresh tomatillos, but it's a lot of work. If you're tight for time, this recipe is 90% as good with a third the effort. The canned green salsa is made from tomatillos and the combination is really delicious. You can probably find a larger can of tomatillo (green) salsa at a Mexican supermarket, but even in your local store's Mexican section you'll be able to find the 7 ounce cans.
