My Grandma’s Version of Green Chile Stew

If you grew up enjoying grandma’s cooking, or even if you didn’t, this wonderful beef stew recipe will bring back all those nostalgic feelings because it’s such amazing comfort food. It’s impossible not to love the incredible flavors in this easy green chili stew.

You don’t need many ingredients to prepare it. You need some ground beef, onion, green chilies, spices, chicken broth, potatoes, tomatoes, and beans. Of course you can add in anything else you want to have in there or you can make the recipe as written, as you prefer.

You might even like to make a big batch of this or at least double the recipe because it’s good reheated the next day and it also freezes really well for future dinners when you don’t have the desire or energy to cook anything from scratch.

Why You’ll Love the Recipe:

This delicious beef stew is so easy to make and you can make the whole thing in one pan which means easy cleanup afterwards. 

How to Serve It:

This Mexican green chili stew is best served hot. You can enjoy it with tortillas on the side and perhaps a dollop of sour cream. 

Can You Make It Ahead?

Yes, you can prepare it in advance and reheat it later if you want.

Storage Instructions:

Leftovers will keep for up to 4 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Variations and Substitutions:

Use canned mild green chilies like hatch chilies, poblanos or anaheim. If you want to make it in a slow cooker, brown the meat first and then put everything except the beans, tomato and potatoes in your crockpot and cook for 6 hours. Add the tomato and potatoes and cook for another 1 hour and 30 minutes, then add the beans and cook for 30 minutes more.
