Honey Maple BBQ Ground Beef

This meal is all about comfort. We start with savory beef ragù, cooked with carrots, onion, garlic, and tomato sauce, and serve it over a hearty pile of chive- and garlic-roasted potato slices. It’s all topped with a sweet and tangy honey maple BBQ sauce. On the side are roasted garlicky green beans and a Parmesan creamed corn studded with scallions.

This dish features classic comfort with a peppery kick. Tender elbow macaroni is draped in a creamy chili and cumin-spiced cheese sauce made with cream cheese, heavy cream, and lots of white cheddar. Over top, our take on poblano rajas, the traditional Mexican pepper prep–a mixture of red bell and poblano peppers roasted with garlic, cumin, and cilantro–and a generous sprinkle of regular and smoked shredded cheddar.
