Time 40m

Yield 9 sliders

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

2 poblano peppers
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 white onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/4 cup Mexican crema
4 ounces Oaxaca cheese, cubed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
One 11-ounce package pretzel slider buns
1 pound ground beef, divided into 9 patties (1.5 to 2 ounces each)
2 plum tomatoes, sliced
1 cup cilantro leaves

Steps:

Roast the poblanos over an open flame or under the broiler, turning as necessary, until charred all over, about 8 minutes. Place in a medium bowl and cover with a plate to steam and loosen the skin, about 5 minutes. When cooled, peel off the blackened outer skin, remove the seeds and stems and discard. Slice the poblanos into thin strips. Set aside.
Set an oven rack as close as possible to the broiler. Heat the broiler to high.
Heat the vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until slightly softened and fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the poblanos and cook until everything is very soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the crema and Oaxaca cheese and cook until the cheese is just melted. Reduce the heat to low, season with 1 teaspoon salt and keep warm.
Combine the melted butter, chipotle powder and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Split the slider buns, put on a baking sheet cut-side up and brush evenly with the butter mixture. Broil until golden around the edges, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter.
Place the beef patties on the baking sheet and season generously with salt and pepper. Broil to desired doneness, about 4 minutes for medium.
Put a patty on each bottom bun. Spoon some of the poblano sauce over each and top with a tomato slice and cilantro leaves. Close the sliders with the top buns.

Tips:

Choose high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh poblano peppers, lean ground beef, and a flavorful cheese blend.
Don't be afraid to adjust the heat level of the dish to your liking. If you prefer a milder flavor, remove the seeds from the poblano peppers before cooking. For a spicier dish, leave the seeds in.
Cook the ground beef until it is browned and crumbly. This will help to develop the flavor of the dish.
Be careful not to overcook the poblano peppers. They should be tender but still slightly firm.
Serve the cheesy beef poblano bake immediately, while it is hot and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Cheesy beef poblano bake is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of tender poblano peppers, flavorful ground beef, and melted cheese is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips, you can make this dish your own and enjoy it for years to come.
