Some bolognese recipes call for hours of slow stovetop simmering, but this recipe isn't like other recipes, not by a long shot. We're not only speeding up the path towards beefy, pasta-filled bliss, but also inviting a few new friends along for the ride. Sweet poblano peppers, tender carrots, and even a dollop of sour cream join in on the fun to give this dish a Tex-Mex-inspired twist.
