Notes: This recipe came from a friend, Michelle Treichler, who served it at her daughter's wedding at Red River, New Mexico in 2012. It makes a highly spicy (hot) chili stew that our Colorado grandchildren seemed to enjoy with plenty of cold water on the side. The Hatch peppers from New Mexico are the choice chilis for this recipe; however, the level of spiciness can be reduced by using less of the chilis or even a milder type of pepper. The Hatch chilis add a special flavor. Michelle says the recipe is one she modified from the old Taos Inn.
