Bison-Stuffed Poblano Peppers image

I came up with this recipe while trying to decide how to use a 650 gram tray of lean ground bison. The beauty of this recipe is that you can use any ground meat and any type of stuffable pepper. I actually stuffed two poblanos, a red bell pepper and a yellow bell pepper. This turned out so good that I decided to share the recipe. I served it with Mom's Best Skillet Cornbread, recipe #153414.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb extra lean ground buffalo meat
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
black pepper, freshly ground
1 -2 chipotle peppers with adobo sauce, chopped
3 dashes liquid smoke
1/3 cup chili sauce (Heinz brand)
1/3 cup fine dry breadcrumb
2 eggs, beaten
4 poblano peppers, slit open down one side and seeds removed
cooking spray
1/2 cup shredded cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet and add the bison, onion, celery, garlic, salt and pepper. Fry over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes or until bison is browned and vegetables are soft and translucent.
  • Add chipotle, smoke and chili sauce and heat through. Remove from heat.
  • Sprinkle bread crumbs, then add beaten eggs. Stir quickly to incorporate eggs and breadcrumbs before the egg sets into cooked clumps.
  • Spoon the mixture into the peppers, dividing evenly. Heap it up if you have enough.
  • Spray a baking dish with non-stick spray and arrange peppers. Bake at 375F for 30 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and sprinkle peppers with cheese. Return to oven and bake for 5 more minutes or until cheese is bubbly and browning.
  • Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
