Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 pounds 80-20 ground beef
- 1 large sweet onion chopped
- 4 poblano peppers chopped (or use Hatch chiles)
- 2 cans light red kidney beans
- 28 ounce can fire roasted tomatoes or use equivalent fresh
- 14 ounce can tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon Coriander
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground cumin
- FOR SERVING: Fresh chopped herbs, shredded cheese or queso fresco, corn chips, pan seared jalapeno peppers, hot sauce, etc.
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large pan and add the ground beef and chopped onion. Cook them down about 10 minutes, or until the beef is cooked through. Add them to your slow cooker.
- While beef is cooking, set your oven to broil. Slice the poblano peppers in half lengthwise and set them on a baking sheet. Broil them in the center of the oven about 20 minutes, or until the skins char and puff up.
- Remove, cool slightly, and peel and discard the skins.
- Chop the roasted peppers and add them to the pot.
- Add all of the remaining ingredients and stir them up.
- Cook them on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, stirring every now and then. Adjust for seasonings if you wish.
- Serve in bowls with your favorite fixin’s. I used tortilla chips, queso fresco, fresh herbs and pan seared jalapeno slices.

Notes
- Serves 8-10.
- Chili Peppers. I usually use poblano peppers or Hatch green chiles for this recipe, though you can use others. Consider Anaheim peppers, cubanelles, or other thicker walled peppers that are great for roasting.
