Very good. Not too spicy. Very flavorful. With rice and beans it made a great mexican style dinner!

    I used pork as opposed to be and it took about 45 minutes longer of cooking to get mine tender. Instead of two tomatoes I used 1 and 1 can of spanish tomato sauce. So I cut the water to 1 3/4c. to compensate. I added a little chicken bouillion sprinkles for more flavor along with about 1 t. oregano. After I put it all together it looked runny to me so I added 1 diced potato to the mix. Well...it is PURE heaven. The flavor meld wonderfully and even if it is as verde as some..who cares with flavor like this?

    This was very good. And very easy to put together. I used a yellow bell pepper and two Anaheim chilis for the chilies. That made the dish SO pretty! Lots of color there. I let it simmer until the pork was tender and the sauce was thickenened, then served it over plain steamed rice. Added lots of salt and pepper (personal preference) and about a tablespoon of dried cilantro. Yum! I'm having the leftovers for lunch today. I bet this would freeze well...

    Pork was very tender but it was just missing something. There wasn't much flavor to this dish.

    This was excellent! I used 1 red pepper, 1 medium jalapeno pepper and 1 cubanelle pepper (similar to a green pepper but lighter in color and milder in taste). I roasted the peppers, but didn't peel them. The roasting definitely enhanced the flavor, so I'm glad I did that. I used also a fattier cut of pork so that it wouldn't dry out, but next time, I'll have to do a better job of trimming the excess fat : ( Overall, I was pleased with the tenderness of the pork ~~ I cooked for about 50 minutes. As I made it, the dish was a bit on the spicy side, so next time I'll omit the jalapeno pepper. I served with Quick Spanish Rice and it was a delicious combo. Thanks for posting!

    Used pork loin this time around and it came out tender but not as tender as I would have liked. Taste was great. I used canned chilies. Would make again. I'd be interested if changing the cut would change the tenderness of the dish
