Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by roasting your poblano peppers until the skin is charred and blistered. Transfer them to a bowl, cover, and let them steam for 10 minutes.
  2. In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil and sauté chopped onion and minced garlic for 2–3 minutes. Add ground beef and seasonings, cooking until brown.
  3. Peel the roasted peppers and make a slit to remove seeds. Stuff each pepper with the beef mixture and arrange in a baking dish.
  4. Whisk together eggs and shredded cheese for the topping and pour over stuffed peppers in the baking dish.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F and bake for 30–40 minutes, until egg is set and top is golden brown.
  6. Let the casserole cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, garnished with cilantro if desired.
