Ingredients:

Serving

4 large poblano peppers
1 lb. of lean ground beef
1 14.5 oz. can petite diced tomatoes
1 6 oz. can tomato paste
1/2 cup water
1/2 onion chopped (white, yellow , or sweet - i used sweet)
2 tsp. minced garlic (or 4 cloves crushed fresh )
bunch of cilantro (leaves only) about 2 tbsp chopped finely
1 4 oz. can of fire roasted green chiles
3 ( approx.) roasted red peppers (in the jar) chopped finely
1 tbsp cumin
1 tsp. ground ancho chiles
1/2 tsp. ground chipotle chiles
1 tsp. ground pasilla chiles
6 dried japone chiles ( soaked in hot water, diced) it not available, not a big deal - like i said adjust the spice to your liking. we like it very spicy hot.
1/2 tsp. cloves
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp. salt (to taste)
1 lb. shredded cheese ( jack and cheddar, or mexican blend)

Directions:

Now here's where it gets personal - I put all sauce ingredients in food processor first, but that isn't necessary - you can just put in separate sauce pan and bring to boil, then simmer for as long as you like - while you prepare peppers and ground beef
Wash peppers and slice in two, remove stem and seeds
Dry and place on baking sheet skin up, under broiler (I used 450* convection broil) till just blistered, about 15 minutes - watch so they don't burn
Brown ground beef and drain if necessary
When sauce is where you like it, add to beef
When peppers are roasted, carefully remove and put in plastic bag and twist closed for about 5 minutes - makes it easy to remove skins, they just rub off.
Place peppers in 9x13 baking sheet and fill with meat/sauce mixture
Top with cheese
Bake uncovered in 350* oven for approximately 35 minutes till bubbly and slightly browned.
Top with sour cream and cilantro and/or pico di gallo if desired.
