Very easy, tasty, cheap and SO healthy! Just toss the ingredients in your crock pot in the morning and come home to dinner. All ingredients can be kept on hand for easy dinner any night of the week. I originally got this recipe from flylady.com . It's since become a staple at our house! I've shared the recipe with friends, and they love it. Apparently the men say its "Man food, very meaty & hearty!" Haha! My sis-in-law even served it to us when she invited us to dinner!

CROCK POT CHILE VERDE STEW (CALDILLO)

I love this recipe. It is easy to put together and cooks while you are away. This recipe is a combination of several recipes I have used over the years. Serve this with either flour or corn tortillas for a wonderful meal. The heat depends on the heat of the chiles. I use long green mild chiles from Hatch, NM.

Time 6h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 lbs lean boneless beef stew meat
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 teaspoons beef bouillon powder
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 medium onion, chopped
8 large green chilies, roasted, peeled and chopped
3 medium potatoes, diced in 1 inch cubes
1 cup water
1 -2 medium jalapeno pepper, seeded and sliced (optional)
1/3 cup cilantro
salt

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients, except for cilantro and jalapeno peppers, in a 6 quart crock pot.
  • I prefer to use Yukon Gold potatoes, washed and skin left on.
  • Stir to thoroughly combine the ingredients.
  • Cover, turn on low and cook for approximately 5 to 6 hours or until meat and potatoes are almost tender.
  • Add chopped cilantro, and if more heat is desired, the jalapeno peppers.
  • Continue cooking an additional 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Serve hot with tortillas of your choice.
  • This is wonderful warmed over the next day.

Tips:

  • For a vegetarian version, omit the pork and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
  • If you like your chile verde spicy, add a jalapeƱo or serrano pepper to the pot. Just be sure to remove the seeds and ribs first.
  • To make the chile verde ahead of time, cook it on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. Then, let it cool completely and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • When you're ready to serve, reheat the chile verde over low heat until warmed through.
  • Serve the chile verde with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and tortilla chips.
