I created this recipe years ago, and it has become such a favorite that the wonderful aroma of it cooking makes my family instantly happy. It is hearty, flavorful and easy to prepare, and it uses the long, slow-cooking method that truly defines comfort food. —Sally Pahler, Palisade, Colorado


Test Kitchen tips
  • We liked the coarse texture of hand-chopped chiles, but if you're trying to save time, use diced green chiles instead.
  • This beefy filling would also be tasty in tacos or quesadillas.
