Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I use something other than ground beef for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute ground beef with chunks of steak or another meat of your choice.
This can change the texture and flavor of the dish, but it’s a flexible recipe.
How spicy is this dish with the smoked hatch green chiles?
The level of spiciness can vary depending on the type of green chiles you use and whether you remove the seeds.
If you want it spicier, you can leave the seeds in or use hotter chiles.
Adjust the spice level to your preference.
Can I use fresh tomatoes instead of canned diced tomatoes?
Yes, you can use fresh tomatoes.
Just chop them up and use them in place of the canned diced tomatoes.
Fresh tomatoes can add a different flavor and texture to the dish.
What’s the purpose of sprinkling flour over the meat?
Sprinkling flour over the meat is a common technique to create a roux, which will help thicken the stew. It’s used to achieve the desired consistency for the dish.
How should I adjust the seasonings if I don’t have exact measurements?
Adjusting seasonings without exact measurements can be done by taste.
Start with a small amount of seasoning, taste the dish, and add more as needed.
It’s a great way to customize the flavors to your liking.
What’s the best type of ground beef to use for this dish?
You can use lean ground beef for a healthier option, but some prefer to use ground beef with a slightly higher fat content for added flavor.
The choice is yours based on your taste preferences.
Can I use canned green chiles instead of smoked hatch green chiles?
Yes, you can use canned green chiles if you can’t find smoked hatch green chiles.
However, the smoked variety will add a unique smoky flavor to the dish, so consider trying them if you can.
Why do you add flour to the meat?
Adding flour is a common technique to thicken the stew or sauce.
It helps create a thicker consistency, similar to a gravy, and binds the flavors together.
How long should I fry the potatoes?
The frying time for the potatoes can vary based on how thick you’ve sliced them.
Typically, you want to fry them until they’re golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
This usually takes about 10-15 minutes, but keep an eye on them.
What’s the best way to adjust the dish’s spiciness?
To control the spiciness of the dish, you can adjust the amount of smoked hatch green chiles you use.
Removing the seeds and membranes from the chiles will also reduce the heat.
If you prefer it spicier, you can add more chiles or use hotter varieties.
