I have 10lbs frozen after roasting.  Some peeled and some not.  What is your favorite way to use these?  Mine are fairly hot. (Lumbre)

Mix in the hamburger meat. Simple and very good.

And in scrambled eggs, delicious.

I make a green tomatillo salsa using one fire roasted hot one with 4 tomatillos and a few other add-ins.  Great hot smokey flavor.

You have a promising winter ahead. 

There is a little dive in CO Springs that serves a Hatch Chili pulled pork breakfast burrito smothered in a chorizo/pepper jack cheese sauce. (Also scrambled eggs and potatoes inside). Yeah. It’s fan-freaking-tastic. 

My mom also used to dice them up in pimento cheese when I was a kid.

Narrowed it down to two:
 
Green chile cheeseburgers: umami burgers on the BGE, toasted buns, sharp cheddar, and chopped chile.  Listen for the angels.
 
Green Chile stew:  Saute 1 onion and 2 to 4 garlic cloves in oil, brown 1 lb ground pork or sweet ital sausage, add a box of cheekun broth and 24 oz fire-roasted canned tomatoes, 2 or 3 diced Yukon Gold 'taters, 1/2 tsp each oregano and cumin, salt-n-pecker to taste, and five, or ten, diced roasted green chiles.  The proportions can be modified ad infinitum.  One of my favorite dishes.

When I was veeeeery  young in the 50's in Albuquerque my parents would go to hatch nm and bring home a gunny sack full and roast all weekend. Mother made chile rellenos, just roasted peeled green chile stuffed with sharp cheddar cheese and placed in a hot iron skillet to  melt the cheese, chile rellenos, BUT my favorite was her green chili pork that has evolved over the years to my current version,

2. Bring to boil and then simmer. Place lid on pot and cook 1-1 1/2 hours. Remove lid toward end and reduce if too much liquid. Add beer or chicken broth if to thick.

3. Serve with fresh hot tortillas and/or rice.

4. Works well with leftover turkey or chicken also. Freezes very well!

5. This can also be done on the BGE, 9 QT Dutch Oven, Indirect, Plate Setter leg up, something to lift the DO off the plate setter 1/2 inch or so, 350F, no top on DO, light smoke couple of hours. Keep an eye on it so it does not dry out.

Tips
Had just bought some fresh green chile pork tamales so took 2 of them and cut into small pieces and added.  Helps to thicken the pot.

Author Notes
2009/08/21--Richard Fl--Cooked 2 8 1/2 lbs pork butt 350F for 3 hours.  Used them for the Florida Mini Fest. Made 3 gallons chili and took to party and reheated in 9 qt DO.

THIS RECIPE FREEZES VERY WELL.

1/27/14-Note to self--Add 1 stick butter next batch.

Thanks for the ideas.  I have tried them in scrambled eggs but they were too hot for that lol.  I love hot and spicy but kind of wish I'd have gone one level down in the heat.

@Richard Fl
Are you sure that all fits in a 9-qrt dutch oven?
