Green Chili ala Poppa Dick

It's been cold.... and I mean COLD for the last week.  Yesterday I made a pot of Poppa Dicks green chili. This recipe works well with any meat from pork to venison.  I used some venison that our renters gave us. Farmdad was bragging and someone asked for the recipe so here we go.

Poppa Dicks Green Chili

1-2 lbs of cubed meat
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped onion
2 cans of diced tomatoes
1 large can of green chilies
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp celery salt
1/2 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp cumin
2 diced jalapenos ( according to taste)
salt & pepper

Brown the meat, celery and onion in stock pot.  Don't cook it done just brown it a bit.  Then add the tomatoes, green chilies, jalapenos and spices.  Add water to cover everything.  Bring to a boil.  Turn heat sown to just a simmer and let it cook for several hours.  The longer it cooks the better it is.  Add water as needed.
