This is a dish I came up with because I had a spicy meat sauce I had made a few nights before and I had some poblano peppers I wanted to use. The amounts on spices are approximate, you can adjust for your taste. Read more Hope you like. It's not for the spice wary. Although you can make it as "hot" as you like. See less

How to make it
- Now here's where it gets personal - I put all sauce ingredients in food processor first, but that isn't necessary - you can just put in separate sauce pan and bring to boil, then simmer for as long as you like - while you prepare peppers and ground beef
- Wash peppers and slice in two, remove stem and seeds
- Dry and place on baking sheet skin up, under broiler (I used 450* convection broil) till just blistered, about 15 minutes - watch so they don't burn
- Brown ground beef and drain if necessary
- When sauce is where you like it, add to beef
- When peppers are roasted, carefully remove and put in plastic bag and twist closed for about 5 minutes - makes it easy to remove skins, they just rub off.
- Place peppers in 9x13 baking sheet and fill with meat/sauce mixture
- Top with cheese
- Bake uncovered in 350* oven for approximately 35 minutes till bubbly and slightly browned.
- Top with sour cream and cilantro and/or pico di gallo if desired.
