We stopped at a chile pepper stand in Hatch, NM. The proprietor, Gilly, ( as in Gilly's Chilies) gave me his favorite recipe for pork stew - 1 pound cut up pork, 1 can cream of mushroom soup, 1 can cheddar cheese soup and 1 tablespoon chile powder. It sounded like a good start, but way too soup-y for me! I found some recipes on line and combined them and Gilly's to come up with this!
