recipe by: Frankie
Ingredients
- 2 thick cut uncooked slices of homemade bacon, diced
- 1 lb stew meat
- 1/2 lb ground beef
- 1/2 lb ground pork
- 1 large onion, diced
- 2 poblano peppers, seeded, stemmed and chopped small
- 2 large cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 14 ounce can fire roasted diced tomatoes
- 28 ounce can tomato puree
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 TBSP chili powder
- salt & pepper
- Optional toppings (shredded cheese, diced onions, diced jalapenos, sour cream, etc)
Directions
- In a dutch oven or large pan cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon to a bowl line with paper towels to absorb the grease.
- Generously season the stew meat with salt and pepper and cook in the bacon fat over medium heat until well browned on all sides, about 6 minutes. Remove meat with a slotted spoon to the same bowl as the bacon.
- Add the pork and beef to the pan and cook while breaking them up until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Remove pork and beef with a slotted spoon to the same bowl as the stew meat and bacon.
- Add the onions and peppers to the pan and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring often. Stir in the garlic and cook 20 seconds or until garlic becomes fragrant.
- Pour in the beef broth and scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon or spatula to release any stuck on bits from the bottom.
- Pour in the diced tomatoes, tomato puree, red pepper flakes, chili powder and 1 tsp salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
- Add all the meats to the crock-pot and when the tomato sauce mixture begins boiling pour that in the crock-pot over the meats.
- Cook covered on low for 6 to 7 hours or until stew meat is tender and pulls apart. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve topped with cheese, onions, etc.
