I've made Chili Verde a few times with varying results. It was generally edible but not really great.
I found this recipe on line and since it sounded fairly easy to make I tried it last night. It was by far my best attempt to date. I'm sure there are better recipe's out there but this one's pretty good for a novice.
Only things I changed was using canned tomatillo's (hard to find fresh in a No ID logging town) and I simmered it for a couple of hours instead of the 30min recommended.

I served it over rice with a dollop of Sour Cream. Delicious.
