My cousin Kathy Azua made this fantastic sauce using ground pork and green chile. In the south, they add chow-chow to beans, but in the southwest we add salsa. Kathy's recipe is PERFECT added to pinto beans or on top of fried eggs or fried potatoes. Really, there is not much that you can't use this in or on.

1 medium onion, diced
2 teaspoons garlic (I used granulated)

How To Make kathy's green chile sauce

Step 1

Brown the pork in butter. Add onions and garlic. Cook until soft. Add all ingredients except the flour water mixture.

Step 2

Cook on medium-low heat for about 30-40 minutes. Taste for seasoning with salt. I like a little more garlic, but that is a personal preference. Add flour mixture to thicken a little. You don't want it dry, but you don't want it soupy.
Step 3

Add this to your bowl of pinto beans! Heat it up and put it on your fried eggs in the morning or your fried potatoes. Put some in or on your cornbread. This stuff is like Mexican Food candy! It freezes well too.....put it into an ice cube container, freeze and then take out and bag in proportions.
