STUFFED POBLANO PEPPERS



Stuffed Poblano Peppers image

These aren't the stuffed peppers you've always known, and yet, we're sure you'll love them. Poblano chiles are dark green, triangular in shape and sweeter in flavor than bell peppers. Stuffed full of the veggies, Cheddar cheese, chicken and beans that this recipe calls for, poblanos get even better! And better for you, thanks to smart swaps-beans in place of rice and chicken in place of ground beef-that cut calories. But don't worry, less fat doesn't mean less flavor in this case, as these get cooked in a sauce that's zesty and easy to make-simply blend together an onion, Old El Paso™ chicken taco seasoning mix and Old El Paso™ enchilada sauce. Combining pantry staples with simple vegetables means this recipe is easy enough for a weeknight. So even if your standby recipe is our classic Stuffed Peppers , give this version a try, and you'll see why we think there's room for another stuffed pepper recipe in your repertoire!

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 large poblano chiles
2 teaspoons plus 1 tablespoon neutral-tasting oil, such as canola or saffl ower

Time 1h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 medium fresh poblano peppers
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 pound lean ground beef
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 thin slices shredded Cheddar cheese
slice shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 (15 ounce) can enchilada sauce (such as Hatch®)
aluminum foil
¼ cup grated Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Turn a gas stove burner to high. Hold poblano peppers directly on the flame with a pair of tongs and turn until skins are charred. Let peppers cool. Leaving peppers as close to whole as possible, remove skins, seeds, membranes, and stems.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; stir in onion and garlic. Cook and stir until onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add ground beef; cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Mix in chili pepper, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place peppers in a nonstick casserole dish. Insert a slice of Cheddar cheese and a slice of Monterey Jack cheese into each pepper. Spoon some ground beef mixture into each pepper. Place the remaining beef on top of the peppers, and cover with enchilada sauce. Cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and sprinkle grated Cheddar cheese on top of the peppers. Bake until peppers are bubbly and fragrant, another 45 minutes.
