Hatch Green Chile Stew

I went to the Hatch Green Chile Festival a couple of weekends ago...It was amazing! I came away with 12 recipes and a7 pounds of green chiles. I have roasted green chiles in the freezer for the year! YUM. This stew recipe is, by far, the BEST green chile we have ever had. You will NOT be disappointed if you make this! Green Chile Stew
