Beef Pozole (Hearty Beef Soup) image

I haven't tried this pozole recipe yet, but I love pozole. I've had it with pork, which is the usual meat ingredient and with chicken, but I've never had it made with beef. The list of ingredients is wonderful, just the things I enjoy with the exception of epazote, not because I don't like it, but because I can never find it at the store. I received this via e-mail this morning from the "Beef, It's What's for Dinner" website.
