Reviews
We make every recipe our own, and I am no stranger to substitutions. We work with what we have. In my case, I had 1 can of diced tomatoes and nearly 3 lbs of pork. So I used Rotel instead. It already has green chilies in it. I also used paprika and, since right now we have an overabundance of celery, I sauteed about 2 cups along with the onions. This is a brilliant starting point, though – which is why I gave it 5 stars.
Just by reading this recipe I knew I would improve the taste by using chicken broth instead of water. Instead of using whole canned tomatoes and having to chop them, I used canned diced tomatoes, saving a step. I also used hatch chiles that I had previously frozen instead of canned green chiles. With these changes it rates 5 stars, 4 stars the way it is written. Thanks for the recipe.
