Pork Mechado with Hotdogs (Pork Stew with Hotdogs)

I planned to use beef for this, but I don't have available beef so I used pork. Feel free to use beef if you don't want to use pork. Also, cut the pork in big cubes and you can add more carrots or potatoes if you want.

This is a very tasty meal. I used Del Monte Quick N Easy Mechado Mix where you don't have to use the usual garlic and onion but I still used these. I feel that it's still lacking in taste if I don't add those.

The hotdogs are really for the kids. Sometimes, they tend to just chew the pork and not eat it, so I added the hotdogs so they will not end up having just the sauce and nothing more.

If you want an easy to sweat lunch or dinner for your family try this and enjoy eating this with your family!
