For a richer flavor, consider browning the ground beef with 1-2 cloves of minced fresh garlic. Add the garlic during the last minute of browning to prevent burning. If you prefer a milder stew, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeno peppers before slicing. Alternatively, use fewer jalapenos or substitute with a milder pepper, such as poblano. To thicken the stew, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the stew during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream or plain Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or parsley for added freshness.

Apr 24, 2025I followed this recipe and found it too salty, I would suggest reducing the amount of beef broth added if you are sensitive to sodium.

Apr 13, 2025My husband isn't a fan of spicy food, so I only used one jalapeño and removed the seeds. It was still delicious!
