How to Make Luna's Red Chile And Pork Over Stuffing

  1. Trim all fat from 1 lb pork loin and cut into 1/2-inch cubes.
  2. Spray a large skillet with vegetable oil and brown the pork cubes over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes, until browned on all sides.
  3. Add 1 (10-ounce) can enchilada sauce (or your homemade sauce) and 1/2 cup water to the skillet. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Prepare 1 box (6-ounce) stuffing mix according to package directions, omitting margarine or butter. You may need to add additional water for desired consistency.
  5. (Optional: For a richer flavor, stir in 2 tablespoons of butter or margarine while preparing the stuffing, per package directions).
  6. Serve the fluffy stuffing on plates and top generously with the red chile pork.
  7. (Optional: Fry 1-2 eggs over medium heat until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny. Top each serving with a fried egg for an extra special treat!)
