I've been experimenting with green enchilada sauce lately, and it sure lights up the taste of this delicious pork stew. —Sally Sibthorpe, Shelby Township, Michigan

At first I thought you might just be having a bad day, and that's what prompted you to post such a rude comment.  Then I looked at your other posts and saw that all of your comments are snarky and insulting.  Gosh, you must really have a miserable life if you feel the need to log on to a RECIPE website and make rude comments to strangers.  Newsflash harley,  your comments don't make you appear more knowledgeable - they make you appear petty and tacky.   You're not impressing anyone in this forum.

This sounds like a great family recipe - I'll definitely try it. I normally don't rate a recipe I haven't tried yet, but I'll give it four stars based on the fact that it uses ingredients easily at hand and seems that even a novice cook (like my husband!) could make it work. I'm also giving it four stars just because "nmharleyrider" was such a jerk. : ) Experimenting with a sauce doesn't mean actually making it from scratch, it can mean trying it on or with different foods. Maybe nmharleyrider should experiment with some manners.

We don't eat too much pork b/c my hubby doesn't like the "dryness." I will try this and see if it changes his mind. Sounds delish!

The reviewer below reminds me of the cowboys in the Pace Picante Sauce commercial. New York City!

Around here, we like to use our manners by not insulting people.

Wow, rude much harleyrider? Maybe you should take some lessons in etiquette. Anyways, this sounds amazing! So good to have another fantastic pork recipe!!

I completely agree with Butterbeansmom, the reviewer who is complaining about this recipe not being "authentic" is rude. This is a recipe site..not a contest for authenticity. I think this sounds delicious and I'm going to try it this week!

Perhaps the person who makes homemade green sauce could share it.

This sounds absolutely delicious, but I would definately find ways to reduce the calories and fat, such as low-fat or fat-free cheese and sour cream. It wouldn't be too hard to reduce these stats without affecting the taste too much. To the reviewer from New Mexico, you were quite rude--"pretty lame?" Perhaps a little better manners are called for. Enjoy your homemade sauce.

Well it's hardly experimenting with green enchilada sauce when you are using a canned version of the sauce. Around here we start with roasted green chili and then create our sauce using pork and other spices. Canned green chili sauce is pretty lame not to speak of non-authentic.
