I like to work out during the week but it’s hard because I’m not done with work until 3:30 and by the time I get somewhere, exercise, and get home it’s usually 5:30 or 6:00.ย This means there isn’t a lot of time to cook dinner after I get home.ย ย That’s where the slow cooker comes in.ย ย I love using it for my late nights.ย ย I simply put together something in the morning, turn it on low, and it’s time to eat whenever I get home.
Mostly I make pork loin, chicken, or large pieces of beef but I also like making soup in the slow cooker.ย ย I found a recipe for pork and green chile stew that sounded awesome. It’s a delicious combination of pork, tomatoes, and green chiles.ย ย As the stew cooks it smells amazing.ย ย The green chiles have a distinct smell and add a spicy flavor to the stew.
Since it’s a stew it thick and hearty.ย ย It’s great served over rice or quinoa to make it an entree along with some bread or rolls.ย ย We enjoyed the stew the first night then I ended up draining the liquid out of it the next night and used the pork and chiles on top of nachos along with some cheddar cheese.ย ย This is great for two nights worth of dinners.
