Green Chile Cheeseburger Stew Recipe

Ingredients

• 14 ounces Hatch chile peppers
• cooking spray
• 1 medium onion
• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 medium carrots, grated
• 1 stalk celery, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 medium potatoes, peeled and coarsely chopped
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
• 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers (such as RO*TEL®)
• 3 cups water
• 3 cubes chicken bouillon
• 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon oregano

Instructions

1. Position an oven rack about 6 inches from the broiler and preheat. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
2. Lightly spray the chile peppers with cooking spray and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
3. Broil the peppers until the skin is blackened and blistered, flipping halfway through, about 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer the blackened peppers to a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap to steam for about 20 minutes. Peel off and discard the skins. Chop the chiles and set aside.
4. While the peppers cool, halve an onion. Mince one half, and roughly chop the other half; keep them separate.
5. In a large pot over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, for 5 to 7 minutes. Add the minced onion, carrots, celery, and garlic; cook until the onion softens, about 5 minutes. Remove the mixture to a bowl, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.
6. Add the potatoes to the pot and cook until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Return the meat mixture to the pot, add both cans of diced tomatoes and the reserved chopped onion, then bring to a gentle boil. Cook for 1 minute, then stir in the chopped chiles. Pour in the water, crumble in the bouillon cube, and season with black pepper, salt, and oregano. Return to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
