Stuffed Poblano Peppers
Ingredients
6 medium poblano peppers
1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
1/2 cup whole wheat bread crumbs
1/2 water
1/2 medium onion minced
1 15 oz can tomato sauce
6 oz shredded low fat cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
Instructions
Wash peppers, cut in half lengthwise, remove seeds and any pulp. Place hollow side up in one layer in a large glass pan sprayed with cooking spray. Microwave for two minutes.
Meanwhile, brown the beef and onions on medium, breaking up with a fork. When done, add water, and bread crumbs and about 2 oz of the cheese. Salt and pepper to taste. Spoon meat into the hollows of the peppers, dividing evenly. Gently pour tomato sauce around peppers and drizzle lightly over meat. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top and bake until bubbly. Serve hot. Makes six servings.
