Green Chile Stew
Ingredients:
3 lbs Ground beef
3 lbs potatoes pealed and diced
1 can beef or chicken broth(14.5oz)
2 cups roasted and diced hatch green chile
2 cups green sauce, or 2-10oz cans green enchilada sauce.
Salt
Pepper
Garlic powder
For Homemade Green Sauce:
7-8 blended roasted, and deseeded Hatch green chiles
1/2 onion diced
1 garlic clove minced
1 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon Mexican oregano
pinch of cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt (plus more to taste)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions:
Brown your ground beef with your salt and pepper, drain.
I’m kinda heavy with the pepper.
Add the green chile and cook for a few minutes stirring consistently.
Then add in your potatoes and let them brown for a few minutes, stirring often.
I add a little more salt and pepper.
Add broth and cover and simmer on low to medium heat until the potatoes are fork tender stirring every few minutes to prevent scorching,(it will seem like it doesn’t have enough liquids, but it does!)
Once potatoes are cooked add enchilada sauce and garlic powder then simmer for about ten more minutes, serve with warm flour tortillas.
For Homemade Green Sauce:
Sauté the onion in olive oil over medium heat.
Once it has started to soften add the minced garlic and cook for an additional few minutes.
Add the chiles from the blender along with the rest of your ingredients simmer to a light boil and then remove from heat.
I sometimes will add a tablespoon of agave nectar to my sauce.
This sauce can be used for anything you make that requires green sauce.
Enjoy !!
