Recipe:

(from Tasty kitchen!)

ok – here’s the thing – I am WAYYYY behind on this blog (and on my other blog…and ok, just on life/projects all together!) – so, made a decision – on recipes that I get off the internet, just gonna give you the link, then tell ya if I made any “changes” – ok?  Good!  Let’s go!

D's New Mexican Chile Verde

I browned the meat, then tossed it all in a crockpot, cause, you know – easier that way!

Approval Rating:

This was good.  Really good.  Quite tasty.  Not better than the Green Chile Pork, which is my Fave , but very very good – and they all ate it – Yay!

Green Chile Pork

Despite Isaac's concern over this being "chili" (which is odd, cause he is one of the few who LIKE chili!), this dish as a Major Hit.  It sounded good, and looked easy, so I decided to give it a try - SO SO Glad I did! (and how CUTE is the name of this blog??  I <3 Naptime w/Chocolate Sundaes - this sounds like someone I could hang out with!!)

Recipe (with my adaptations!):

Green Chili Burros
adapted from Becoming I Betty

3-4 lb. roast ( beef or pork) (I used pork!)

1/2 onion, chopped (I used a WHOLE red onion, yeah, I'm Wild like that!)
1 4oz. can green chiles
1/2 -1 jar green chile salsa (I used a whole jar, "think" it was La Victoria brand - will ck next time I buy it!)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cumin
*Place roast in crock-pot and pour all ingredients on top. Cook on low about 8 hours. Shred and mix well 

before serving.  (She pictures it being served with healthy stuff, like tomatoes and lettuce....I served it with the Caribbean Black Beans & Rice (to make it a little Cafe Rio-ish!) and set out cheese, salsa, and sour cream.)

Approval Level:

I loved this on SO MANY levels:  It was BEYOND simple - every ingredient is a "pantry staple" around here, love recipes where I can stock up on non-perishable ingredients!  It was DELICIOUS - wanna know HOW delicious?  My kids VOLUNTARILY grabbed it out of the fridge the next day to eat as leftovers!  These kids do NOT love leftovers!  It stayed moist and taste, and was possibly even better the second day!  This will DEFINITELY be made around here again (and again and again!)!
