Gringo Chile Rellenos

[jcam222]

I had some nice green peppers to use up and had the munchies for something with a Mexican flair. Didn't work from a recipe just a go with the flow throw together. 2.5 lbs ground beef with 2 lbs beef chorizo. Cooked drained and then sourced with about 6T taco spice mix and 1 packet of Saxon Goya achioto con cilantro.

Halved a half dozen green peppers while the beef mixture cooked some.

When the beef mixture was cooled I mixed in about 24 oz of a shredded cheddar and Monterey cheese blend. Stuffed into the peppers with some enchilada sauce in the pan.

About 50 minutes covered at 400F then another 5-10 minutes topped with more cheddar

Ready to eat with a sprinkle of cilantro from the garden on top. These were the bomb especially with a little sour cream.

This really satisfied my urge for Mexican flavors. Thanks for looking !

Wow Jeff those look incredible! Bet they would be good with a little jalapeño ranch drizzle on top. Or the fiesta ranch blend

Nice Mexican stuffed peppers! I never thought of doing that even though I used to make rellenos when I grew a garden. What I found out was...too much work (to make them properly).

I like to make stuffed peppers with the other colors. For some reason regular green peppers stick with me for a couple days!

Mental note made for fall. Too hot to go out of my way to use the oven for now.

Looks great! How were the peppers as far as being soft? I’ve done something like this and the peppers were still pretty tough.

Thanks Jim! I cooked them until the peppers were softened. The bottoms in the liquid were nice and soft, sides were soft but had a little more firmness than I like. I'd add another can of sauce next time and cook a little longer. Important to note though they can't nth yes to soften some covered in the pan and when microwaved to warn up they are the perfect softness. Another option is to blanch the pepper halves first but I'm too lazy for that ha
