PICADILLO TRADITIONAL | Ground Beef and Vegetables | Just Like Mom Made ❤️

Comfort food at it’s best! This is one of the meals my mom prepared for us often when we were growing up, she always served it with beans and freshly made flour tortillas and it always hit the spot. She prepared inexpensive dishes and turned them into a feast…I have continued the tradition. When you are hungry this dish will definitely satisfy, it is very easy to prepare. I change it around, sometimes I add bell peppers instead of jalapeños, but my Ron loves the kick from the jalapeños and so do I, I don’t think it’s hot, but bell peppers can be a simple substitute. I hope you give this dish a try.❤️

I LOVE that you have ingredients already chopped! I hate wasting my time watching people cut up their ingredients.

[@BrandyPantoja]

My son and I used your recipe. Just the aroma had us wanting for more. We actually cooked this dish 2 nights in a row back to back. I cannot thank you enough Ms. Rachel for putting this out. We looked at about 2 -3 other recipes and after making our choice to use yours. We were hooked! We subscribed and we'll be making more dishes, and spices with your videos! Thank you Ms. Rachel.

[@b_ks]

Thank you for the absence of silly music. 😊

[@PassionGrows]

I love how clear and well spoken you are. It’s a pleasure to watch your easy to follow recipes.

[@echaleagua]

You just need to have your own TV show already!! Your videos are perfection, well done, and to the point! Your personality shines, you are in love with what you do, you genuinly care about your audience (we feel you girl!) and you bring a chuckle at the end when you taste your food...sounds very lovely and we know your Ron loves it too. Lol keep it up!!

[@hrheachafin6657]

A great recipe, but an absolutely outstanding video of how everything comes together! I really like your having the ingredients pre-measured and displayed, then a brief explanation of each one. Your demeanor is so calm and knowledgeable, it's obvious you know what you're doing, and doing it in an organized way. Your explanation of "why" you use certain ingredients, and how you use them, is so useful for cooks new to Cocina Latinoamericana. ¡Este video es un 10!

[@sheryalburris6733]

I made this recipe tonight Rachel, it came out so perfect, I'm so proud I did exactly as you as you said, step by step. I love it so much. I made last night your homemade refried beans too for this dish. I love your recipes. Thank you!!!! Keep doing your Rachel cooks with love, I love them and I'm sure many people do too.

[@rachelcookswithlove]

You made my day, thank you so much for your comment my friend. ❤️

[@Luigi-lt2zz]

Brings back so many memories. My mother made this dish, yummy. I'm going to make this weekend. Thanks for taking me back to my childhood.

[@burghbrat3319]

This looks really good, Rachel. Thanks for the nod to how your mom made it. My kids are grown and don't ever ask for much, but once in awhile one or the other remembers something I cooked for them and asks how I did it. It makes me happy to know they liked it well enough to want to try it on their own.

[@cassar0ll859]

Those refried beans look phenomenal! I will have to try that. My fiancé is mexican and I make his refried beans with black beans and salt in a blender and then I cook it in a little oil with a bit of onion. When I seen the ham hocks in yours I knew it was going to be good! ❤️

[@trapped7534]

Oh my gracious!!! Ms. Rachel,I am older than you… but would you please ADOPT me??😊 I don’t have any family and your food always looks soooooo very good!!! I started cooking around 9 years old,but after family passed away,I stopped cooking very much. I have never seen this dish,but it made my mouth water 💦. God Bless you and your Ron.

[@elvahernandez2954]

Hello Raquel, this is my husbands favorite. The family calls it “the Joey Special” after him. Looks delicious. God bless lovely. 🌻

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Thank you so much, my Ron loves it too, it's a winner.❤

[@Marbleslite]

I make this often. I never added carrots. I will have to try that! I usually add green olives, green and red bell peppers, and capers. Once I needed to stretch it and threw a can of black beans. It was delicious!!

[@americandreamsicle1]

While living in Venezuela, I learned to make it this way with capers and olives.

I grew up on the stuff. Granted I did eat other stuff, but I definitely had my share. It’s a small world 🌎

Those refries on the side Rock that dish "If you dont want to use japaleno because you are Afraid of them". That cracked me up . Thanks Rachel . You belong here .

[@tishb62]

You cook so much like Grandma Barela. Grandma B was from Las Cruces New Mexico. Thank you for posting your recipe, I’m going to try it. I sure miss Grandma B’s wonderful cooking, but I miss her most of all. Grandma went home to Jesus Several years ago, and not a day goes by that I don’t miss her. .

[@lnpena]

Yes, I grew up eating picadillo my mom and grandmother would make it along with my grandmother’s flour tortillas! I now make it. I love that you grind the fresh spices in the molcajete, just like my mom and grandmother did. It sure brings out the best flavor to any Mexican dish. I still have my mom’s molcajete and use it from time to time, need to use it more often! Thank you for your videos, and keeping our family traditions alive.

That’s pretty much how my mom makes it but she adds peas at the end and sometimes green beans. Haven’t had this in a while. Bringing back memories!

[@veronicagarcia7780]

Reminds of my dad, pass away 18 years ago. That was the only thing he know how to cook. We would see him cook twice a week and we know what we were going to eat. ( That's so funny thing about it, we would make plans not to eat home) 💙😊

Looks good, I use hot green Chile and it's not hot I add a jalapeño. I choose them and put them in the freezer and I roast my hot green Chile and peel them and put them in the freezer too. I only put onion, salt,pepper, garlic salt🥰 add potatoes, nothing else. I leave the seeds in the Chile. We don't use tomatoes. We only use the green and red chile and jalapeños. My brother jars the yellow peppers. That what we use to make chile.
