This stew is delicious. I brought leftovers to work and people were commenting on how good the stew smelled. I told them I’d bring the recipe in the next day.
The stew is simple to make. I use top sirloin (instead of beef stew meat) cut into small pieces. I also just used one big russet potato, it’s plenty.
This is a wonderful recipe that I will make often.JS, Alamogordo NM

Very good recipe. I prefer pork, so I cubed a small pork roast and browned with the onions and some garlic. Also, I use chicken broth instead of beef, about 3 to 4 cans depending on size of roast and the amount of potatoes. If you have access to a farmers market that offers roasted green chilis I highly recommend using those instead of canned (takes about 6 to 8 large ones). Fall is the season for roasted green chilis but aren’t available in all areas of the country. Enjoy!

Green chili stew is a very popular dish in New Mexico which is where I grew up. I make this easy stew on Christmas Eve (slow cooked in a crock-pot for 6-8 hours). The level of desired spicyiness will vary for different people. Canned green chili is too mild for my taste. For those who prefer spicier green chili, I recommend http://www.buenofoods.com – a popular New Mexico chili retailer. You can also choose to make a milder stew and serve extra green chili on the side so people can adjust the spicyness. I highly recommend you try this stew – it will warm your bones on a cold winter’s day. YUM!

I really enjoy good stew and this is a fantastic alternative for variety. This is so good because the ingredients are nicely balanced. I like spicy foods but I think too much would spoil the already robust flavor. I take it as part of the characteristic of this stew that it is thinner brothed than most people might anticipate but I personally would not change it.

Excellent flavor and at last something new in the stew department! I used diced tomatoes with jalapenos as we like things really spicy. Also doubled green chilies, lots of fresh garlic and used about 6 potatoes for my hubby. Will make this often this winter – Thank you Lynn!

I made this stew using pork as someone else had recommended. I also used 1 1/2 cans of chopped green chilis as I was using up some from another recipe. I could have put 2 in as my family loves traditional “green chili” and this was very similar in taste when using pork. I added a pinch of ground chipotle seasoning which gave it a little bite and used more broth than called for as my potatoes were large. We loved this recipe and I am sure we will make it all winter long!

We were expecting more from this recipe (with all the glowing reviews). It tasted all right, but I won’t make it again. I took the recommendation from a previous reviewer and substituted pork cubes for the beef. I don’t know if the beef would have made this recipe any better.

OK I made this into my “own” recipe but used this one as a guideline. Instead of using beef I did pork cubes so therefore I ommitted the broth. I would reccommend using about a cup of water instead. I did not use the cucim but that was because I don’t care for it. I chopped two small jalapeno’s and browned them with the onion and meat. I DID NOT add the potatoes. Instead of using the canned chili’s I chopped fresh, about one dozen. After browing the meat and onions and jalapeno’s I mixed everything in the crockpot on low for as long as I needed. It is a very good recipe! Thanks Lynn!

My husband really liked this. He is Mexican and does not like Tex-Mex food, which is what usually passes as Mexican food. He said this was just like something his mom makes, which means it’s not only tasty, but also very genuinely Mexican and traditional. I added twice the amount of chopped green chiles, and added the hottest chopped tomatoes with chiles I could find. It still wasn’t that hot, but it was very, very tasty and hearty.

This is a new favorite at our house – I’ve made it at least once a month since I first got the recipe. The original definitely needed more heat for our taste so I use some cayenne or a fresh chile pepper or two (be careful – I learned the hard way that it’s difficult to judge the strength of fresh peppers!). I also like to add a can of corn to up the veggie content. Try it with the “Best-Ever Corn Muffins.” They’re the perfect sweet contrast to a spicy stew. Happy to see this recipe in the top ten!

Fantastic stew! I make Charley’s Slow Cooker Mexican Style Meat the day before(substitute dried chili flakes for bottle of hot sauce), shred and add to stew recipe rather than using stew meat. It’s fantastic served with warmed flour tortillas. My hispanic boyfriend and I love this stew! Thanks for sharing Lynn! :o)

This stew tasted a lot like regular beef stew with a little kick to it. I doubled the green chilies, added a little extra beef broth, added a tsp. of chopped garlic, and used 3 medium-sized potatoes. I put the potatoes in 30 minutes after the stew was started and then I still had to cook it for 1 1/2 hours more to get the potatoes and meat tender. Total cooking time for me was 2 hours. I liked the stew and will probably make it again, but the next time I’ll add another can of Ro-Tel tomatoes along with my other additions. My hubby thought it was just okay.

This was fantastic! I had never made or eaten green chili stew until now. My boyfriend is from New Mexico and said this recipe tasted better than his own family’s recipe. I followed the recipe exactly but I also added 3 chopped poblano peppers that I roasted and peeled. I also used extra lean stew meat that had been tenderized (I hate fatty meat!).

This was great! I made a couple minor changes to it. I couldn’t find the tomatoes with diced green chiles, so I used a can of tomatoes with diced jalepenos. Also, after browning the meat, I dumped everything into my crockpot and simmered it on low for 6 hours. I added the potatoes during the last hour of cooking so they wouldn’t turn to much. Served the stew with corn muffins, and it made a delicious dinner.

This is so good. It has a comforting heat to it. Not like your mouth’s on fire, but you can feel the heat. I used 2-1/2 pounds of meat and pulled 1/2 pound out before I added the potatoes. I cut up this meat and used it to make quesadillas. I would have added some tabasco for extra heat. Serve with your favorite heated tortillas. YUMMY!!!!!

This had just the BEST flavor. Had to change the recipe a bit for what we had on hand. We had whole pig on the spit to use up. Guessing about the amount used but thinking more than 2#. Used 8 Anaheim peppers, roasted, peeled, coarsley cut. Used 2 t. minced garlic and 1 t. salt, 1/2 t. pepper, 1 1/2 t. cumin, 28oz. (yellow) tomatoes and 4 c. water w/ 4 T. chicken soup base (extra water because wanted extra potatoes). Chunked 4 medium potatoes then thickened w/ 1/4 c. flour and water at the end. We are true pork lovers so I think I’ll always make it with pork but when the “real pig” runs out, maybe I’ll add some liquid smoke to store-bought. I live where there is lots of Green Chili Stew around and definitely eaten my share. This is absolutely the best. The flavor just rules! Thank you!

I used pork loin as I think it goes so well with green chile. Like others, I made this in my slow cooker so I omitted the oil. I used 14 oz frozen green chile (with liquid) so I reduced the broth to 1/4 c. I didn’t add tomatoes or potatoes for dietary reasons, but did add about two cloves minced garlic. This is very similar to the way I usually make my green chile meat, but I usually don’t add cumin. I’ll definitely be adding it from now on. Thanks Lynn!

My family and I love this recipe! I change it a bit, I use pork and chicken stock. I add coriander and garlic powder (sometimes oregano) as well. For garnishes, we use sour cream, avocado, and I bake corn tortilla strips that I’ve tossed w/a bit of oil and salt to add something crunchy. Haven’t tried it but some cilantro at the end would probably be excellent in here. Awesome as leftovers too.

This is pretty good as is but the second time I made a few changes: Added a can of corn, used chicken broth instead of beef, and omitted the tomatoes and just used a can of mild green chilies. Sometimes I add bacon sliced up and brown it with onions. My husband really likes this soup.

The only reason I didn’t give this five stars is because I use this recipe with fake ground beef (vegetarian). Other than that, it is excellent! It is a delicious stew, especially if you are familiar with New Mexican green chili recipes. As someone who lived in Albuquerque for 6 years and still craves and misses the dishes now that I’m in NY state, this dish serves as a welcome memory. It’s warm, spicey, and so yummy!

Delicious! Great recipe. I added a clove of chopped garlic, omitted the onions, and added a can of corn. I did have to increase my cooking time. At 1 hour my meat was still super tough, so I let that sit for about an hour and a half total, then added the potatoes, and let it all simmer for another hour. So… 2 1/2 hours total, but worth every second. Served with crusty bread to dip in the stew. MMmmmm!

A definite 5-star rating for this one! My husband and I absolutely love this stew! It has a wonderful flavor and is so easy to make. The only thing I’ve done differently the last several times I’ve made it is to add an extra can of the tomatoes w/green chili peppers. This gives the stew a little more body.

I thought this was a fine everyday dinner recipe. Very easy. It lacked a little something, but I’ll figure that out the next time I make it. I used a very inexpensive cut of beef and it was very tender (Acid from tomatoes) withou having to cook all day or taste like tomato sauce.
-

This was an excellent recipe. I followed the recipe fairly closely. I did use fresh tomatoes and cooked them seperately (homemade version of stewed tomatoes) instead of the Rotel tomatoes. I did not add green pepper/jalapeno to the tomatoes as I was cooking for guests who do not like spicy food. The stew turned out great – not spicy but it had great flavor. I added more potatoes (about 5 medium total) and cooked until the potatoes were very tender and almost mushy. I would make this recipe again.

This was really good, but I made some alterations. We used 4 butterfly pork chops cubed instead of beef. Cooked it all in a crockpot for about 5 hrs, adding the potatoes about 1.5 hrs. before ready time. I put in 2 cans of Rotel with Lime and Cilantro. 2 cups beef broth. 1/2 can chopped jalapenos and 2 cans green chilis…oh and a can of Pinto beans. Also added 1 tsp. of oregano. My first go round I used the potatoes, but for some reason I decided to try the 2nd day with rice. I picked out the big chunks of potatoes and added some rice and it was wonderful. Next time I will substitute rice for potatoes. This is definitely better the 2nd day. The jalapenos kicked up the spice a notch, so be careful. I absolultely love spicy food and had we added an entire can of chopped jalapenos, we would have been in trouble. Highly recommend this one though and it’s super easy!

I added corn, green beans, cilantro, used ground turkey instead of beef. I also used fresh green chilies I roasted. I threw everything in a crockpot for 6 hrs. It was great and very healthy. Even with the 6 large chilies I used it wasnt very spicy next time I might use a little jalapeno to spice it up a little.

This was very flavorful and easy to make. Based on other reviews I was not expecting this to be spicy at all but it did have a bite to it and I was hesitant to give it to my 18 month old. I followed the recipe with the exception of adding an additional can of regular diced tomatoes since the can of tom with chilis I had were petite cut. Will make again and maybe try with Pork next time. Thanks! P.S. Made a 2nd time with diced Pork Loin and added a can of corn and it was fantastic.

Added 1/2 bag of corn. Ran out of time so skipped the potatoes (would add some Yukon Gold chunks next time). We came home from a movie to this simmering and ready to eat. We really liked this! I added green Tabasco at the table, YUM! Will play with extra spices next time. And there WILL be a next time.

This will be come a staple in our house. Gracias, Lynn. I made it mostly as submitted here, just added a piece of pepper bacon to simmer with the stew and I doubled the amount of cumin and included some mild red chile powder along with a pinch of Mexican oregano. I scrubbed the potatoes well and left the skins on before cubing them. This is a great recipe because not only does it taste really good and is easy to prepare, but you could add extra to it, dress it up with grated cheese on top, serve with tortillas, cornbread etc.; it’s just great to be able to make a satisfying dish with all needed ingredients on hand.

This was OK for us. It needed to cook a lot longer than the recipe stated. In fact, I think it would be a good one for the slow cooker. It tasted fine, but the meat was still a little tough. Didn’t taste any thing like the green chili stew I have gotten in NM. Thanks for sharing.

I did this in the slow cooker and took recommendation from another reviewer and put the potatoes in late. Was a mistake because an hour and a half later, they still weren’t done. Would either leave out the potatoes or put them in at the start. Excellent flavor and my family loved it. Served with warm flour tortillas. Will definitely make again. Thanks!

This recipe is excellent! I made this for my boyfriend who is from New Mexico and was missing his childhood favorite. I have never had this before and both of us LOVED it. We had it for dinner one night and ended up making it later in the week because we loved it so much. The only changes I made was I used 2 cans of tomatoes w/ green chili peppers and 2 cans of green chili peppers. I also ended up letting it simmer after I added the potatoes for an hour to hour and half rather than 30 minutes. 5 stars! I’m going to have the rest for lunch today.

So great! I added worcestershire sauce and a bay leaf for flavor but left out the extra chilies. I also added carrots with the potatoes. This made it less like a Mexican stew and more like pot roast! I also added 2Tbsp. flour to thicken it up at the end. Great base recipe to play around with.

This is a fantastic recipe to try if you’ve never made Green Chili Stew before. I did make mine with ground beef rather than beef stew meat or pork and used fresh roasted green chili (living in NM has it’s advantages when it comes to getting authentic ingredients for this one!) that I purchased from Sunflower Market. A little tweaking of the spices to suit my personal tastes – I like a lot of garlic – fresh tortillas from a local establishment and we were in total green chili bliss! Suffice it to say I won’t really need to be buying from local restaurants as I have found something just as good, if not better! Thanks for posting a great recipe 🙂

I made this according to the recipe. I didn’t change anything; however, I did add to it. I added a large can of white hominy, an extra can of green chiles, and six peeled, chopped carrots. It came out very, very good. Next time, I’m thinking of chopping some cabbage, avacado, and lime slices and dressing it like we do posole. I think it would be perfect for that.

Delicious stew! I used mild green chili peppers and the flavor of them really came through! We all loved it! I just used a regular can of diced tomatoes and just added in a couple more mild chili peppers. Also I had to use about 2 cups more beef broth. Thanks so much!

This is a great basic recipe but it’s missing a few ingredients that would make it traditional, “New Mexican Green Chili Stew.” I say, “New Mexican,” since few Mexicans cook soley with fresh green chili’s. [they wait for them to ripen for preservation purposes & use primarily red] But after they migrated to the US, this Green Chili Stew became more of a necessary adaptation due to income restrictions. This stew was actually created when Hispanics with large families & limited incomes worked in the Hatch, NM chili fields. Instead of pork or prime cuts of beef, they used hamburger meat though pork shoulder was definitely preferred. [trust me when I say ground cumin & pork go together like helpless women and railroad tracks] Anyway, the more traditional version presents 2 + lbs Hatch Green Chili’s, chopped jalape?os, potatoes, hearty amounts of white onions & celery stalks with leaves, loads of cilantro & cumin, (2 + tbs cumin) parsley, generous amounts of garlic, green/red tomatoes, cayenne and black pepper, red pepper flakes, salt, Mexican Oregeno, bay leaves, Italian seasoning & beef/chicken/vegetable/or pork broth & was always served with warm tortillas. Notice that all ingredients were very easy to come by & cheap for Hispanic workers. If pork was used, they would season flour the meat & brown with garden vegetables then place in pot & simmer until the pork fell apart. This method also made for a thicker stew. Either way, it’s a delicious stew & great recipe Lynn!

Made this as written except I used pork because that’s what I had in the freezer. This was really good. Hubby said it was a keeper. Although not a 5 star (I reserve that for something that’s beyond great) this is really good. Will make again and again. Love the green chili’s – we are don’t like real spicy (I do, hubby doesn’t) and I would have loved it spicier but it was still quite tasty. Thanks, Lynn, for a keeper!
