This goes into everything.  We eat it with an Asian style green salad and macaroni salad (or mac and cheese) for a Hawaiian style treat.  We put BBQ sauce on it and eat it in sandwiches.  We use it in Green Chile Pork.  It's an easy and universally appreciated meal that is easy to take in.  Definitely a family staple.

Green Chile Pork

Green Chile Pork
from Cheryl the Great

1 pork tenderloin (3-4 lbs)
1 package Lipton onion soup mix
1 c. water
2 cans Stokes green chile sauce (with pork)
1 can Rotel tomatoes and green chiles
2 cans (4 oz) roasted diced green chiles
sour cream to taste
shredded cheese to taste

Cook pork loin with water and Lipton soup mix in crockpot for 4-6 hours.
When pork is fully cooked, drain, retaining some of the liquid.  Shred pork and add Stokes, Rotel,  green chiles.  If it is dry, add some of the cooking liquid.  Serve with tortillas or chips, topped with sour cream and shredded cheese.


This is a holiday dish for me.  When the tamales come out at Christmastime, I start making green chile pork.  We're sending this to Jason's work potluck and it's an easy and delicious contribution.
