Ingredients

Chiles

  • 8 fresh poblano chiles

Sauce

  • 1 can (15 oz) Muir Glen™ diced tomatoes, undrained, or 5 plum (Roma) tomatoes, quartered
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
  • 3 dried bay leaves
  • Salt, if desired

Filling

  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 cup finely chopped onion
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 1/3 cups finely chopped carrots
  • 2 cups diced peeled red potatoes
  • 1 lb extra-lean (at least 90%) ground beef
  • 1 can (6 oz) Muir Glen™ tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
  • 3 tablespoons slivered almonds
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green olives
  • Raisins, if desired

Directions

  •  
    1
    Place each of 4 chiles on separate gas burners. Turn gas burners to medium heat. Roast chiles, carefully turning occasionally with tongs, until skin is blistered and lightly charred. Repeat for remaining 4 chiles.* Place chiles in resealable food-storage plastic bag; close tightly. Let stand 10 minutes.
  •  
    2
    Wearing rubber gloves to prevent chiles from burning skin, remove skins from chiles under cold running water. Make a lengthwise slit along one side of each chile. Remove seeds and membranes, being careful not to split the chiles; set aside.
  •  
    3
    Heat oven to 375°F. In blender, place canned tomatoes, 4 cloves garlic, 1/4 cup chopped onion, the broth and bouillon granules. Cover; blend on high speed, about 30 seconds, until smooth. Pour into 2-quart saucepan; add bay leaves. Heat to boiling over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens slightly. Season to taste with salt; remove bay leaves.
  •  
    4
    In 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Stir in 1 cup finely chopped onion and the 3 cloves finely chopped garlic; cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Stir in carrots and potatoes; cook 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are crisp-tender. Stir in beef; cook about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly cooked. Drain; return to skillet.
  •  
    5
    Stir tomato paste, broth, oregano, cilantro and 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules into beef mixture. Cook uncovered about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until potatoes are tender and mixture thickens. Stir in almonds, green olives and raisins.

    6
    Spoon filling into chiles. In ungreased 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish, place chiles, filling side up. Pour sauce over chiles. Cover; bake 30 to 35 minutes or until filling and sauce are hot and bubbly.
