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. This means there isn’t a lot of time to cook dinner after I get home. That’s where the slow cooker comes in. I love using it for my late nights. 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. I found a recipe for pork and green chile stew that sounded awesome. It’s a delicious combination of pork, tomatoes, and green chiles. As the stew cooks it smells amazing. The green chiles have a distinct smell and add a spicy flavor to the stew.
Since it’s a stew it thick and hearty. It’s great served over rice or quinoa to make it an entree along with some bread or rolls. 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. This is great for two nights worth of dinners.
