I made this tonight after finding a slow cooker version that I modified for what I had in my pantry. It was a mega-hit with the family!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Full of Southwest flavor and spices, this comforting green chile pork stew will warm anyone up on a cold day. The pork is extremely tender, and the onions, garlic, and chicken broth help add flavor. Corn adds a touch of sweetness and mellows out a bit of the spice. Adding fresh jalapenos and cilantro adds to the flavors. This recipe comes together quickly with little effort.
