Ingredients
- (4) poblano peppers
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium-large onion; chopped
- 1 pound Stemple Creek Ranch grass fed ground beef
- 1 tablespoon organic taco seasoning spice (*sugar free)
- 3/4 cup grated smoked cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice)
- Other garnishes: prepared salsa, sour cream, avocado/guacamole, chopped cilantro
Directions
- Wash the peppers and use a paring knife to cut a hole around the top stem. Remove the top (set aside) and scoop out the seeds/core with a small spoon.
- Add olive oil to a large sauté pan over medium heat. When hot, add chopped onion. Sauté for 7-10 minutes until lightly brown and starting to caramelize. Add ground beef and break up with a spoon. Add taco seasoning. Continue sautéing until beef is no longer pink (5-7 minutes). Drain excess oil and set aside.
- Use a spoon to stuff each pepper with an alternating mixture of ground beef/onion, and smoked cheddar. When full, replace the top stem on each pepper. Rub exterior of stuffed peppers with additional olive oil.
- Fire up the BBQ to 400-500F. When hot, place stuffed peppers on the grill. Close the lid and sear to blister the skins, turning half way through (about 4 minutes each side).
- Remove from grill and slit open the top of each pepper lengthwise to reveal stuffing. Top with salsa, sour cream, avocado and chopped cilantro as desired!
