Mama's Chili

As I was adventuring thru the internet today at work I came across one of my FAVORITE things – some NEW RECIPES!!!!!

Needless to say, the “Mama” mentioned is not mine… I’ll try to post MY mama’s recipe for Green Chile (Chili Verde) in the near future.

In the meantime, I hope this recipe sounds as good to you as it does to me.
