Green Chili Stew Recipe

The Sweet Corn Bread recipe I posted last week got me thinking about Green Chili Stew. This probably isn’t very authentic, but it is a tasty stew which is easy to make at camp.  Serve a nice green salad with it and you have a meal!

You can also spoon the stew into tortillas and eat it that way.

Cooking time will vary depending on the cut of pork you use.
