Ingredients

  • 6 large poblano peppers
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup salsa (optional, for serving)
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Roast the Poblanos:
  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the poblano peppers on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skins are blistered and charred. Alternatively, you can roast them over an open flame on a gas stove.
  • Place the roasted peppers in a plastic bag or cover them with a towel and let them steam for about 10 minutes. Peel off the skins, then carefully slit each pepper lengthwise and remove the seeds. Set aside.
  1. Prepare the Beef Filling:
  • In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
  • Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and cook until the onion is softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Stir in the ground cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until well combined and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
  1. Assemble the Casserole:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • Stuff each roasted poblano pepper with a portion of the beef mixture and some shredded cheese, reserving about 1/2 cup of each type of cheese for topping.
  • Place the stuffed peppers in the prepared baking dish.
  1. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, and baking powder until smooth.
  • Pour the egg mixture evenly over the stuffed peppers in the baking dish.
  1. Top and Bake:
  • Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses over the top of the casserole.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the top is golden brown.
  1. Serve:
  • Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with salsa and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
