This is a cheater version of my Prairie Harvest Green Chile Stew. In an effort to eat more meat (yes, I need to eat more meat), I wanted to create something that could be turned into many quick and easy meals, as well as having a great bowl of Chile, with little effort. I offer you this new recipe staple, to add to your repertoire of one-pot-meals! It will keep in the refrigerator for two weeks, or freeze for later use. Other meal ideas are featured below. I hope you love it as much as I do!
