Brown the meat in the oil. Add the onion and garlic and saute until the onion is soft. Add the remaining ingredients (less the sugar) and cook slowly until meat is tender 1-2 hours. Stir in 2 tbsp sugar, cool the pan in ice water and place in the refrigerator overnight. ** In Norway, everything that looks like a green (or red) chile pepper is called green (or red) chile pepper (actually the spelling is Chilli not Chile), so I dont know the name of the peppers I use in my green chili stew. They are about 4-5 inches long and about 1 inch wide, and looks like your New Mexico or Anaheim variants. Probably they are the same. It is not common to remove the skin on the chiles either.
