I love when I can find new ways to cook with the same old meats. Well I’ve got a pound of ground beef that needs to be cooked up so tonight we’re going Mexican with stuffed poblano peppers.
Did you know…most grocery stores label the poblano pepper as a “pasilla pepper?” So just know that if you see a pepper that looks like this, it’s most likely a poblano.
stuffed poblano peppers
makes 4-8 servings
- 4 poblano peppers
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 red onion, diced
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- For topping: cilantro, avocado, sour cream, tomatoes and jalapenos – all optional
Did you know…that poblanos are on the greener side of the Scoville scale when it comes to heat? The Scoville scale measures the heat of all known peppers we eat. Poblanos come in at about 1,000-2,000 SHU’s.
- Slice the poblanos in half and remove the seeds.
- On a baking dish, drizzle olive oil, salt and pepper inside the peppers.
- Bake in the oven for 10 minutes at 350 degrees and then remove and set aside.
- Add the olive oil to a pan over medium heat and add the ground beef.
- Sprinkle in the spices and let the mean brown.
- Add in the onion to soak up the flavor of the beef.
- Stuff the poblanos generously with the beef mixture and top with cheese.
- Place in the oven to warm through and melt the cheese. About 5-10 minutes.
- Remove and top with your favorites!
