Ingredients
- 4 Anaheim peppers
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 12 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup pepper jack cheese
- 1 Tbsp. chili powder
- 1 tsp. garlic salt
- 1/2 tsp. pepper
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- topping:
- 1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
- 1/4 cup chopped onions
- 1/2 cup pepper jack cheese
Directions
-
Either on a grill or in a broiler pan, sear the peppers until skins blister, usually about 7-8 minutes depending on heat source. After the skins blister, place the peppers in a dish and cover with foil and let steam for about 5 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, back in the kitchen, crumble and stove-top cook the hamburger, onions and other seasonings to resemble taco meat. Cook until hamburger is done and the onions are tender. Drain the grease and put on a paper towel to absorb any drippings.
-
After the peppers have rested for about 5 minutes, very carefully remove the skins. Split the peppers and gently remove the seeds with a spoon. Place the peppers in a 9 × 9 inch baking dish. Fill the peppers with the hamburger mixture and top with 1/2 the cheese.
-
Pour the tomato sauce over the peppers, cover and microwave on high for 5 minutes. When the time is up, wait one minute and remove from microwave.
-
Carefully remove cover and sprinkle remaining cheese and onion atop the peppers. Cover and let sit for another minute.
-
Serve with a crisp, garden salad.
