Original Green Chili and Pork Stew Recipe

This recipe is from my notebook dated December 2004.  My youngest son was 12 at the time and quite the picky eater.  He loved this simple stew and requested it often. 

December is not the best time for fresh peppers and you’ll notice I used two cans of roasted chili peppers.  While I prefer to use fresh peppers, the canned chilis work well here.  This stew works with chicken too, and white beans could also be used.

This recipe has grown and changed over the years, but it is still a family favorite.  Look for the updated Chili Verde Recipe coming soon.
