Making the Filling for the Peppers
In a large skillet, brown up 1 pound of ground beef (you can also use ground chicken, turkey, venison, buffalo/bison, or chorizo) then add in ¼ cup diced onion and cook until translucent.
Stir in 2 tablespoons of Chugwater Chili Seasoning or if you want it spicier Chugwater Chili Hot Chili Seasoning.
Then add in 1 cup whole kernel corn, 1 cup of black beans that have been rinsed and drained, 15 ounce can diced tomatoes with green chilies, 1 cup of water, 2 cups of water, and 1 cup of instant rice. Stir together and let simmer for 5 minutes or until rice has softened. (If you want to add some extra vegetables you can add diced jalapeno or diced red bell peppers.)
Preparing the Peppers to Stuff
Slice 5 large poblano peppers in half lengthwise. Take out the seeds but leave the stem. This creates the perfect cavity to add the rice mixture.
Place in a baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray so that the pepper does not stick to the dish and bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until the peppers start to soften.
Stuffing and Baking the Peppers
Pull the peppers out of the oven and fill them with the beef and rice mixture until every pepper is filled.
Top with shredded cheese you can use cheddar, pepper jack, or a fiesta blend, and bake for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
Top with some fresh chopped cilantro if you wish and get ready to serve these stuffed peppers.
How to Serve Stuffed Poblano Peppers
Serve these stuffed poblano peppers right out of the oven. They are an all-in-one meal but you can add a salad, fruit, or dessert with them. You can also add a dollop of Chugwater Chili Dip on top, some salsa, guacamole, or chopped cilantro. These are super fun to make and easy to serve. Meal prep these for the week and place them in a food storage container. We hope you enjoy this fun new stuffed pepper recipe.
