• 1 lb ground meat (I used beef)
• 1 lb stew meat (or the cut of your choice, cut into larger cubes)
• 1 yellow onion, chopped
• 3 - 4 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 cup Hatch Green Chile, roasted and chopped (for a more New Mexican taste, add 1/2 to 1 cup more green chile)
• 4 oz Hatch Red Chile Powder
• 12 oz tomato paste (for a more New Mexican taste, use only 8 oz)
• 28 oz crushed tomatoes
• 32 oz beef broth
• salt & pepper to taste

1. In a dutch oven, combine the meats and cook over medium heat until very little pink remains.
2. remove the meat from the dutch oven.
3. add chopped onion and cook until nearly translucent.
4. add chopped Hatch Green Chile and cook for a couple of minutes.
5. add the garlic
6. add the meat back into the dutch oven
7. add chile powder and salt and pepper to taste
8. add tomato paste and crushed tomatoes
9. slowly add the broth until desired consistency. I did use 32 oz.

As a transplanted Texan, I wanted to make a Texas style chili featuring Hatch Green Chile. My family really enjoyed it as it was - especially as the main ingredient in frito pie! Having lived in New Mexico a few years now, we did think of some ways to make it slightly more New Mexican in taste. Either way, we hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
