Ingredients

4 medium poblano peppers
1 lb ground beef
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
2 ribs celery, chopped
2 large carrots, peeled and chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1½ teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried marjoram or oregano
⅛-¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
6 cups low-sodium beef broth
2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 (15-ounce) can yellow corn, drained
1-2 tablespoon brown sugar (optional)
chopped fresh cilantro or parsley

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Place the poblano peppers on the baking sheet with space between them. Roast for 15 minutes, turning halfway through the cooking process.
Steam them in a paper bag or bowl covered with plastic wrap for 10 minutes. Peel the skins, cut off the stems, and remove the seeds. Dice them and set them aside.
Brown the ground beef in a Dutch oven over medium heat. About halfway through the browning process, add the onions, celery, and carrots. Cook until the onions and celery are soft.
Reduce the heat to low and add the garlic, chili powder, ground cumin, dried marjoram, and cayenne pepper. Cook for 1 minute.
Add the beef broth, potatoes, corn, and the poblanos you set aside. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce and simmer until all the vegetables are tender. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. They can be reheated in the microwave at reduced power or on the stovetop over low heat.
