Time 1h21m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 large poblano peppers, halved and seeded
1 ½ pounds ground beef, or to taste
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon ground paprika
¼ teaspoon ground dried chipotle pepper
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 large onion, chopped
2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with green chile peppers
cooking spray
3 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend, or to taste

Steps:

  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place poblano peppers with cut sides down onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Cook under the preheated broiler until poblano pepper skins have blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Place blackened peppers into a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Allow peppers to steam as they cool, about 10 minutes.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef, chili powder, garlic, cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper, paprika, chipotle pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cook and stir until beef is no longer pink, about 4 minutes. Add onion; cook until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes with green chiles; cook until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes more. Let beef mixture cool.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray.
  • Run water over the poblano peppers to remove skins and discard them. Drain peppers on paper towels. Place a layer of peppers on the bottom of the prepared dish; place 1/3 of the beef mixture on top. Cover with 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend. Repeat layers twice more in the same order.
  • Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until golden brown on top, about 35 minutes.

Time 40m

Yield 9 sliders

Number Of Ingredients 13

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:

  • Choosing the Right Poblano Peppers: Select large, dark green poblano peppers with smooth, unblemished skin for the best flavor and texture.
  • Roasting Poblano Peppers: Roasting poblano peppers enhances their smoky, slightly sweet flavor. Broil them directly over an open flame or roast them in a hot oven until their skin blisters and chars.
  • Peeling Poblano Peppers: Once roasted, place the poblano peppers in a paper bag or covered bowl to steam for 10-15 minutes. This makes peeling their charred skin much easier.
  • Seasoning the Beef: Generously season the beef stew meat with salt, pepper, and other desired spices before browning. This adds depth of flavor to the casserole.
  • Cooking the Casserole: Simmer the casserole over low heat until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened. This slow cooking process allows the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Using Canned Tomatoes: If using canned tomatoes, choose high-quality, whole tomatoes and crush them by hand or with a potato masher to create a chunky texture.
  • Adding Corn and Black Beans: Corn and black beans add vibrant color, texture, and sweetness to the casserole. You can also add other vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or mushrooms.
  • Garnishing the Casserole: Before serving, sprinkle the casserole with chopped cilantro, sour cream, and crumbled cotija cheese for an extra layer of flavor and color.

Conclusion:

The Poblano Beef Casserole is a flavorful, hearty, and versatile dish that combines the smoky heat of poblano peppers with tender beef, juicy corn, and aromatic spices. Its rich and complex flavors make it a perfect meal for any occasion, whether it's a cozy family dinner or a festive gathering with friends. With its easy-to-follow steps and customizable ingredients, this casserole is a must-try for home cooks of all skill levels. So, gather your ingredients, fire up your stove, and embark on a culinary journey that will tantalize your taste buds and leave you craving for more.
