Stuffed Poblano Peppers Recipe - Joshs Cookhouse (2024)

This Stuffed Poblano Peppers Recipe is filled with spicy cheesy beef, that is topped with fresh corn salsa and extra cheese on top baked to a golden brown. This stuffed pepper recipe is a light meal that is jam-packed and full of flavors.

Farm Fresh From Ella’s Garden

For this recipe, I was able to use lots of the ingredients from a friend’s hobby farm. Buying some of the ingredients directly from the farm for this recipe meant I had the freshest vegetables possible and was ready to make one delicious recipe.

You do not have to buy all of your ingredients for this recipe directly from a farm, you may want to though.

Not only do you get to support a local farmer, but you also can get the vegetables in the best condition.

The vegetables we bought tasted great and looked great. There were no moldy or over/under-ripe vegetables.

The sweet corn was especially my favorite. It was sweet to the taste and had just a bit of a crunch that helped make the meal next level.

Are Poblano Peppers Good For You?

Poblano peppers are low in carbs, contain some nutrients, and they are also low in calories, so I would say they are a healthier food, especially in comparison to all the processed foods out there.

Are Stuffed Poblanos Keto?

Yes and no. If you stuff the poblano with high-carb items like rice or quinoa, then the answer is no. There is corn in it that has some carbs, but there is not a lot on each pepper.

However, if you follow this recipe then it is considered keto as long as you don’t eat all of the peppers in one sitting. You might go out of Ketosis then.

Go without all the high-carb options and enjoy an easy keto meal.

Why Stuff Poblano Peppers?

When making this recipe I wanted to make a more Mexican-style dish. Typically the stuffed pepper recipes I’ve seen using bell peppers are tomato sauce based and as good as that is, I wanted to make something different.

Poblano peppers provide a different flavor profile than bell peppers provide. I find that I prefer the taste of poblano better when made with what are considered Mexican-styled ingredients.

This is why I flavored my meat similar to how I would if making a fajita or tacos. This also is why I included corn salsa in the recipe. I often find it light and refreshing to add to recipes.

Stuffing And Baking Stuffed Peppers

Step 1: Finely dice 1/3 of red onion.

Step 2: Place your frying pan on the stovetop over medium heat. Place 1 tablespoon of butter into the pan and saute onions until soft.

Step 3: Add in the 2 lbs of ground beef, and cook until all of the beef is browned. Drain the fat. This will take roughly 15 minutes to cook.

Step 4: Add 1/2 cup of Colby jack cheese, 1 tsp kosher salt, 1/4 tsp ground black pepper, 1/4 tsp chili powder, a pinch of ground cumin, and a pinch of garlic powder. Mix the seasoning into the beef and let cook on low for a couple more minutes.

Step 5: Take the frying pan off the burner and start on the peppers.

Step 6: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Step 7: Using a pairing knife, cut a v-shaped chunk out of all 4 poblano peppers. Remove all the seeds.

Step 8: Stuff peppers about 3/4 of the way with the cheesy beef, and fill the rest of the way with your homemade corn salsa. Finish by using the remaining cheese to top the rest of the peppers. There will be extra corn salsa and cooked beef.

Step 9: Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place all 4 poblano peppers stuffed. Place the peppers onto the middle rack of the oven.

Step 10: Bake stuffed peppers for 20-25 minutes.

Joshs Cookhouse Tips: You can tell the peppers are done when they have become soft and the cheese has become golden brown on top of the peppers.

Step 11: Take the peppers out of the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes.
