Delicious Chile
My chile always seems as if it could be called bolognese, and maybe it can? I like it though, my friends like it and my family likes it. So whatever I am doing I am doing it right, I guess I just never put a correct name to it! I do cook it more Italian style flavoured than any kind of Mexican style.
Me and my assistant went to the grocery store yesterday, the first day after the storm for it to be open and it was chaotic. Not as bad as the day before the storm but it was still pretty bad. Trying to cram pass people in the isles. Finding the right ingredients and finding anything organic was hard even. I suppose it has been rough for the store itself to receive groceries. Anyway, we got what we came for.
- 1 lbs ground beef
- ½ yellow onion
- 1 yellow bell pepper
- 14 oz can of crushed tomatoes
- 4 oz can of mushrooms
- 1 jalapeño
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 tbs ketchup
- 1 tbs dried oregano
- salt & pepper to taste
We got home and immediately started cooking. She helped me mince the onion, chop up the bell peppers and crush the garlic cloves.
I heated up a large frying pan with some olive oil and started frying the onions, adding the meat after the onions got soft and let sear until almost all the meat has colour. I added the bell peppers, garlic, jalapeño and mushrooms stirring and giving more colour to the meat and vegetables. Lastly I added the can of tomatoes and the oregano. Let it boil up for a little bit and then add salt and pepper to taste. Ready to serve!
As I said earlier it can probably be used as a bolognese on pasta as well but I prefer eating it by itself, maybe it’s just me. Enjoy! :)







yum.
to make it more chile/spicy, just add taco seasoning packet. i love this recipe. it looks really good.
