Meaty Stuffed Poblanos

In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, garlic and cayenne until beef is brown and crumbly. Add the tomato, onion and jalapeno (I didn’t remove the seeds when dicing; you won’t notice they’re there, I promise). If you want some heat, add another half or whole jalapeno to the mixture. Cook the mixture for about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Preheat oven to 350 F. Slice poblanos in half lengthwise and remove seeds. Coat a small baking dish with non-stick spray. Stuff poblanos with meat mixture and place them in the baking dish with the filling side facing up. Sprinkle a tablespoon of mozzarella over each poblano half. Bake for 15 minutes then remove dish from the oven. Poblanos will still be firm. You don’t want a soft pepper. Serve with salsa and jalapeno slices.
