Place dutch oven in the egg on the plate setter and add 2 Tbs. olive oil.

Close lid and cook until all the meat is browned, stirring every few minutes. 
Remove dutch oven from egg, remove meat and drain on paper towels. 
Wipe dutch oven dry with paper towels. 
Return dutch oven to egg, add more olive oil and saute´ onions, green pepper, jalapenos, and serrano(s) until limp. Add garlic and continue cooking for 2-3 minutes. 
Add remaining ingredients and cook, uncovered, for about 2 or more hours (add water as needed to prevent drying).

Remove bay leaves, dried chiles and serve.
