A very tasty green chile stew indeed! I made this twice. The first time it was way too hot because I had used some leftover beef that already had green chiles in it, so I ended up with about double the chiles. I did cool it off by adding more water and some leftover rice enough to eat it. I enjoyed it, in spite of the heat, enough to make it again according to the recipe. I really really liked it the second time. For those with tender taste buds, you may want to add the green chile at the end, tasting as you go. I used extra hot ones generously, plus tomatoes with jalapenos, so mine was still pretty spicy even though I followed the recipe. It was just the way I like it. Move over green chile chicken stew, you've got competition now.

Yummo! I made this Tuesday (we're having the rest tonight) and we all loved it. I made two slight changes - I left out the sugar, and used just plain fire-roasted tomatoes instead of tomatoes w/ green chilies. Turned out great - the meat & potatoes were cooked to perfection and the taste was great. Thanks!
