First brown the meat cubes in a little olive oil, add the green chile salsa, turn off stove and let it sit all day, and all night as well. Next day, re-heat the mess, add the other chiles, and the beans, drained, and hold the tomatoes. Let cook for about two hours on simmer, then mix some flour with the juice from the tomatoes, and shake in a shake jar, add the tomatoes to the chile, cook some more, and add the thickener. Adjust seasoning, salt, freshly ground black pepper(all the stuff the kooks say is bad for you)and more heat if not hot enough, I add the hab powder to the meat, first, then adjust the heat later at the end.

SERVE with this corn bread:

Pre heat oven to 375 F Melt bacon drippings in 9 " cast iron skillet Combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder & salt in a mixing bowl.Stir in the cheese and chiles. Separately beat together the milk, eggs and oil, and stir in the dry ingredients until moistened, then pour batter into hot pan and bake at 375 F for 30 - 35 minutes. THIS IS A GREAT CORNBREAD, FIGURED OUT BETWEEN THE TWO OF US, Marie and Doug in BC
