Mexico Stuffed Poblano Peppers are full of flavor for an easy meal during the week. They take little time to make and a great substitute for Taco Tuesday.
Are Poblano Peppers Hot?
Yes, but only mildly spicy. They have a stronger taste than green peppers and are very complimentary to pork and beef dishes. They are also very rich in vitamin C and in vitamin A. Poblano peppers contain more vitamin A and vitamin C than a similar-sized serving of oranges.
Do you need to peel the peppers before stuffing?
I was shown not to peel them but to cook them with the stuffing in the oven. I know some cooks will roast them on a grill and then peel the skin.
How To Make Stuffed Poblano Peppers
Ground Beef
- Place the ground beef in a bowl with all the spices and mix together.
- Clean the peppers by cutting in half and removing the seeds and rinse under cold water then set aside on a kitchen towel to dry.
Stuffing the Peppers
- Place a pan with a sheet of Reynolds Wrap and coat with olive oil so they won't stick.
- With a spoon, separate the ground beef mixture on the individual poblano peppers with even share. Pat the mixture into the peppers to make a little mountain.
- Spoon in the tomato sauce on top of the peppers
- Add the shedded cheese on top of the peppers.
- Place in the oven at 350º degrees for about 45 minutes or until brown on top.
- Take out of the oven and let rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
* All ovens are different so check the peppers are cooking.

- Pat the mixture into the peppers to make a little mountain.
- Spoon in the tomato sauce on top of the peppers
- Add the shredded cheese on top of the peppers. ***(If you prefer a softer pepper, don't add the cheese yet and wrap with an aluminum wrap for 20 minutes so they soften, then remove the top and add cheese and allow to brown on top. Check the peppers in the oven because all ovens cook differently to brown.)
- Place in the oven at 350º degrees for about 45 minutes or until brown on top.
- Take out of the oven and let rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

I do not see tomato sauce listed in the ingredient list. Do you make your own? Or use canned? How much?
Lizzy says
I use a jar of tomato sauce that I make (https://lizzylovesfood.com/how-to-make-tomato-sauce-from-fresh-tomatoes/} It's very simple in case you decide to make your own but some jar sauce today are just as good. it turns out to be about 1 cup maybe a little less depending on how bid the peppers are. I just coat the top and spread it with the bake of the spoon. Let me know how they come out.

Jody rath says
Do these need to be baked on a rack, thinking about oil?
Lizzy says
I use the cookie pan with a little oil to place them on, that way if the cheese melts on the pan if doesn't go to the bottom of the oven. Best, Lizzy
Brenda says
No salt???
Lizzy says
I'm not a big salt person, when I use seasoning such as onion and garlic powder, Not to mention the tomato sauce has salt. It's what your taste buds prefer but if you prefer let me know how it comes out. I let individuals add salt as they need, this is my go to when I have guest so rarely do I salt when that is the case. Best, Lizzy
