Hey, what’s up guys? Today we are making easy stuffed publano peppers. Publano peppers are actually one of the most perfect peppers for stuffing. They’re just the right size and uh they’re also like mild in heat so that you can serve them to uh you know your friends and family and they’re not going to get blasted out unless you make the stuffing nice and hot. Um I’m focusing on doing this very easy today. There’s uh no battering, no frying. We’re just making these boat style. And we’re stuffing the pablanos with a southwest style delicious stuffing that I think you will love. So, uh, let me show you to make them. All right, guys. Let’s make some stuffed pablano peppers. First thing we got to do is get some poblano peppers ready. You got to have pablanos for stuffed pablanos. Some uh, beautiful pablanos. Uh, the number of pablanos that you’re going to need uh, really is going to depend on the size of the peppers. Uh with pablanos, they can vary quite a bit in size. I’ve had some big honken pablano peppers that are just, you know, massive. Um but these are kind of more average sized and um you’re really going to need anywhere from like 6 to 10. Um so anyway, you’ll need to adjust your recipe a little bit depending on the size of these guys. But what we’re going to do is we’re going to roast these peppers. And there are different ways to roast publano peppers and chili peppers in general. And I got a ton of information on the website on that. But we’re making it easy today. And we’re going to do a baking method. So, the first thing you want to do is get a baking sheet set up here. And we’re just going to slice these guys down the middle lengthwise. You want to slice them like right down here cuz we’re going to make these boat style instead of having to like, you know, slit and stuff. So, just do a a real simple slice through like so. And you can remove the stems if you want to or just leave them on. Sometimes I will uh leave them on for like a visual appeal. And then there’s not much decor with publano peppers as you can see. Um but I’m just going to go ahead and remove these uh little uh bit of seeds and the uh the whitish inards here. Like so. Nice and simple. And we’ll set it onto a baking sheet. Skin sides up cuz you want to roast the skins, obby. All right, guys. Got my last pepper cord out here. Seeds are flying everywhere. Making a mess. Shocking. I’m making a mess in the kitchen. Seriously, this is how I get seeds all over the house. They’re everywhere. All right, so the next thing we’re going to do, we’re going to go ahead and bake these. Uh we’re going to bake them at 425° F or that’s roughly 220° C. And we’ll bake for about 15 minutes or so. Really until these skins start to puff up and char. But I’ll be right back and we will continue. All right, guys. I got my peppers, my pablanos softened up nicely here. As you can see, they’re not completely roasted. You can roast them completely if you want to. They get very soft that way since we’re making them boat style. You don’t have to do it. But after 15 minutes, you’ll notice some of the skins have started to puff up and char a little bit. Not char so much, but more puff up. You can remove that if you want to. It removes pretty easily. And you can cool it a bit if you want to or even uh cover it with a paper towel to let it cool and it would steam and loosen some of the skins. Sorry if I could get my towel right like so. And just kind of or use plastic. However, I’m just going to pull this off a little bit. Any excess kind of uh puffy skin if needed. And then we’ll set the peppers upright, get them ready for stuffing, and then let’s go ahead and make our stuffing. All right, I got my peppers situated for stuffing. And now we’re going to go ahead and make the stuffing. [Music] All right, for the stuffing, I’ve got my cooking station all set up here. And get yourself a pan heated up to medium heat and add a bit of oil. Little vegetable oil is fine, or I’ve got some chili oil I just made. And I have a mediumsized onion chopped. And a hiz jalapeno pepper picked out of my garden. The peppers are starting to explode. I love it. And you can skip the peppers if you want to, the jalapeno. Um, if you want to have a little bit milder stuffed pablano peppers, however, make it hotter if you want to. Serrano, habanero. Yeah. Ghost pepper. Oh, yeah. Throw a reaper in there and see what happens. Yeah. All right. So, I’m going to cook this down for about 5 minutes to soften it all up. Next is garlic. I’ve got, I believe, four cloves of garlic that are chopped here. And you only need to cook the garlic for 30 seconds. 30 seconds to a minute or so until the, you know, gorgeous garlic blooms in the room. Oh, yeah. All right. Next, I’m going to add some ground beef. I have a half a pound of ground beef, 8 oz into the pan. And I just go and break it up. And you can use other meats for this. Uh, this is a very versatile recipe. Uh, I love it with ground beef. U, but I’ll make it often times with turkey, ground turkey for a lighter meal. And ground chicken’s good. Chisso is actually fantastic in this or a mix of ground beef and chreso. So, you only need a few minutes for this to cook down. All right, next we’re going to add some seasonings. Got to season this up. So, here I have a tablespoon of chili powder. And this is an American chili powder blend that I like. It’s a New Mexican blend. And a tablespoon of oregano. And this is Mexican oregano. You can use Italian oregano. And a/ teaspoon of cumin. Some freshly ground cumin. and salt and pepper to taste. And I’m going to go ahead and stir this in here and just kind of cook it for uh you know 15 to 30 seconds to kind of bloom the spices a little bit. Now we got all kinds of other goodness. So here I have a can of black beans. And you can um rehydrate your own beans if you want to, but a can makes it easy. Drained. This goes along with our southwest style flavors. and a can of fire roasted tomatoes. I love fire roasted. And you can use fresh tomatoes if you want as well. Be sure to adjust your cooking time as needed. Give it a stir. And a cup of corn. Frozen corn is great. You can use canned if you want to. And I have a cup of cooked rice, cooked white rice. And of course, you can use brown rice if you want to. Always customizable. So, just uh get this all stirred together and incorporated. And then we’re going to let it simmer for about five minutes. Really, just to let the flavors uh develop a little bit. And this is going to be some really delicious stuffing, my friends. All right, guys. I’ve had this simmering for a little bit. Going to go ahead and remove it from heat. And I’m going to stir in about a/2 cup of shredded cheese. And you’re really open to the kind of shredded cheese that you want to use. Use like a good melty cheese like a pepper jack, Monterey Jack, cheddar, or just a good good cheese blend. Going to mix it all in here till it’s nicely incorporated. Make it cheesy. And of course, you can use a little bit more cheese if you want to. Uh I don’t want to be the guy who tells you like uh you can’t use more cheese. I say more cheese. All right, let’s get stuffing some publanos. All right, stuffing the peppers. Got my uh pablanos all set up here on the baking sheet. Just go ahead and scoop the mixture, the stuffing mixture onto the pablanos. boat style peppers here. And if it spills out, then you’re cooking like Mike. Messy. All right, got my last pepper here. Doing this the easy way, guys. All right, if you have extra stuffing, you can definitely save it. It’s actually delicious and you can uh just make more peppers or uh cook it into soups or stews. Very delicious. All right, last step for stuffing is extra cheese. So, just go ahead and uh sprinkle a little bit of your melty cheese, your chosen melty cheese over the top of each of your stuffed publano peppers. And I can tell you already that I’m going to need more cheese. All right, the last of my peppers here. Last of my cheese. Now, we’re going to go ahead and bake. Uh really, you just want to bake for about 10 minutes or so until the cheese gets melty, everything’s nice and warmed up again. And uh but you really can bake a little bit longer if you need to. So, all right. Be right back. A really quick tip, guys. You can make stuffed peppers ahead of time. It’s actually very easy. Just go ahead and stuff them. Then you can refrigerate covered and uh leave them in there for a day or two pretty easily. And when you’re ready to enjoy them, just take them out, get the oven ready, sprinkle with cheese, and bake them until they’re nicely cooked through. Um you can also freeze them easily for several months in a freezer container and then you can thaw them and then top with cheese, bake, and boom, you’re good to go. All right, here we go, guys. Boom, baby. Stuffed pablano peppers. Hey, it’s really hard to go wrong with uh delicious stuffed pablanos. Super easy to make, isn’t it? I mean, I love that. Easy weekn night dinner. Outstanding southwest style flavors. It’s really hard to go wrong with it. But now, best part of the day. Let’s give it a taste. stuffed peppers. Dude, stuff peppers are just so fantastic.

Do you like "The Emperor's New Groove"?! 😆
Agreed. Poblano is my favorite stuffed, followed by Anaheim or Hatch. I had a Poblano plant one year the was hotter than my Jalapenos, a Lot. I saved seeds, but lost the envelope during a move 😢
I needed something new to make this weekend! 😄
Fun looking recipe. I'd change a bunch of things to my own tastes, of course. Yours look great.
I love stuffed peppers! Most often it's sweet red bells filled with a loosely filled meatloaf mix and a hunk of cheese inside. Here, you've done it again! I'll be shopping this weekend and I just put poblanos on the list. Can't wait, you're the best! (Edit) – More cheese? I knew I was right to sub here!
Serrano…hmm? Habañero, yeah! Ghost Pepper? Throw a Reaper in there and see what happens…yeah! Awesome! 😅
lookin good
Nice and simple.
OMGGG!
I’m ready, I’m ready, I’m ready!
May I ask what kind of electric burner you’re using?
I’d really like one!
Love the Poblanos, but darn disappointed more grocery stores in my neck of the woods don't stock 'em. My first taste of Poblanos was way back in the early 2000s in Santa Fe NM in a small cafe, and I was amazed. In the mean timeI I'll have to settle for the Bells.
I'll have to give this a try, looks good! I'll definitely make these as I love poblanos. Later I'll probably switch it up just a smidge and try using a mix of green/yellow/red bell peppers. As they're sturdier they'll hold more stuffing and the color presentation would be nice as well.
*Had an afterthought! I could use the bell pepper colors to indicate the heat levels of the stuffing for group events. That way there's no excuses for the poor saps who grab the red ones LOL!
Great recipe as always!
Those look pretty simple to make. I agree with you about adding some Chorizo into the stuffing, that would be awesome.
Love your content!
My copy of the spicy food lovers' cookbook just came in the mail yesterday!
Are the pepper boats supposed to be soft and flimsy or is there a way to get them to hold form? This happens with stuffed jalapeno poppers as well and I just don't know if I'm missing something.
Looks great but I would need more cheese for my palate!!!
YUM
I just have to make this. Thanks!
My mom is growing poblanos for exactly this reason. She used to by the canned whole peppers and can’t find them anymore. Awesome recipe!
Got some nice size Carmen pepper I am growing. This southwest filling look like it would go good with them. Going to cook with them tomorrow.thanks
My hubby always want me to make him chile rellenos , but this more easier hey also look delicious .
This looks fantastic and it's low carb.
OMG, super fantastic. Added extra cheese Plus pico de gallo. Tried it for the first time extra super duper fantastic👍 my version made you sweat like an atheist in church, again most excellent.
