Carne Guisada (Mexican Beef Stew) is my recipe of the day with the blogging group Foodie Holiday Events. We are a fairly new group posting recipes for food holidays and other events. Today we are doing recipes for Hot and Spicy Food Day. Glad you could join us!
For my offering, I am presenting Carne Guisada which is a stew variation with similarities to chili. Not to be confused with Carne Asada (which is a steak recipe that is very different.)
This is like a Mexican beef stew using stew meat, potatoes, onions, poblano peppers and seasonings similar to chili (but not tomato).
I also use mild jalapeno salsa, which is intended to actually be somewhat mild and not fiery. You can use your own salsa verde or buy jars of jalapeno salsa which is marked mild. Don’t make the mistake of using a cup of a jalapeno salsa like Tabasco or Cholula.
You can serve this with crackers or tortillas. However you like. It should keep you warmed up on a cold winter’s day!

I was going to make some chili today but perhaps I will make this instead. It sounds lovely.
Sue, this sounds like a recipe I would LOVE at first spoonful! I bet the potatoes help cool down the spiciness a bit!
It’s not too spicy, but potatoes are always good!
