Green Chili Stew

Crock Pot - 5-7 hrs. Serves 4

Ingredients:

1 lb fresh green chili's (preferably hatch...heat can vary by taste)
1 lb pork loin (or ground pork if you prefer)
2 cans chicken broth
1 onion chopped in large pieces.
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups cooked white rice

Directions:

Cut up green chili's into strips and place in crock pot. Add chopped up onion. Make sure pork is defrosted and put it in the crock pot. Add 2 cans of chicken broth and 1 can of water (if necessary..this going to depend on the size of your crock pot). Add salt and pepper. Turn on medium and let cook for 7-8 hours. We usually turn ours on at 7am and it is done by the time we get home from work at 430.

Once pork is cooked, take out of the crock pot and shred with a fork. Add shredded pork back into stew and stir.

Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of rice in a bowl and then top with the stew. Mix it all together. The rice helps give it consistency.

We use medium hatch chili's but you can use mild if you prefer. My kids will NOT eat this. It's just too hot. AZDad and I love it though!
