El Paso Green Chile Stew
I remember my grandfather’s second wife, Mimi, making this green chile stew at the holidays. She was from New Mexico, so she made many dishes with green chiles. I especially remember this one because she used the leftover pot roast instead of pork – because my grandfather loved pot roast. The heat in the green chiles feels good, especially on a cold day. This recipe is super easy to make and a meal that everyone will love!
