How to Make Award Winning Green Chili Stew

1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add ground beef (or chuck roast) and brown, breaking it up with a spoon. If using chuck roast, cook until browned on all sides.
2. If using ground beef, drain off excess grease. If using chuck roast, proceed to step 3.
3. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
4. Add crushed tomatoes, green chilies, and chopped onion. Stir to combine.
5. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. Gradually add water, a few tablespoons at a time, until you reach your desired stew consistency. Start with 2 cups.
7. Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
8. Add cubed potatoes.
9. For stovetop cooking: Cover and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20-25 minutes. For crockpot cooking: Transfer to a slow cooker and cook on low for 5-6 hours, or until potatoes are tender.
10. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
11. Serve hot. Optional: Garnish with sour cream or shredded cheese.
