STUFFED GREEN CHILES

Stuffed Green Chiles image

I created this when I was in my early twenties and have changed it a little over the years. I now grow and fire roast my own green chiles instead of buying canned and I use Oxaca cheese (or homemade mozarella) instead of cheddar. You may fire roast, peel and clean out the seeds of your chiles or use canned as both are good. I...

Ingredients

14 prepared chiles or 3 or 4 sm. cans of whole green chiles
2 lb ground beef
1 diced bell pepper
1 diced onion
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 - 4 clove minced garlic
2 c water
3 Tbsp fajitas mix or 1 envelope taco bell fajitas seasoning
1/2 tsp ground cayenne pepper * optional
1/2 tsp habanero sauce * optional
1 Tbsp cornmeal
1 pt green chile enchilada sauce * if store bought add 1/4 tsp. dried cilantro
3/4 lb oxaca or mozarella cheese, sliced or shredded

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with non-stick spray and set aside.
2. Prepare green chiles (instructions below) OR drain and set aside if using canned.
3. To large skillet add ground beef, salt, black pepper, minced garlic, diced onion and diced bell pepper. Cook on high till meat is browned. Drain and return to skillet.
4. Add water, fajitas mix, cornmeal, cayenne* and Habanero sauce*. Bring to a boil,reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Uncover and cook on medium high till very thick.
5. Pour a just enough green chile enchilada sauce to barely cover the bottom of the 9 x 13 baking dish.
6. Holding chile in hand, stuff with meat mixture.
7. Put in baking dish seam side down. Repeat with remaining chiles.
8. Pour remaining green chile enchilada sauce over the top. Cover with cheese and bake for 30 - 40 minutes or till nice and bubbly.
9. TO PREPARE GREEN CHILES Blister chiles on all sides on a very hot grill or in your broiler. As they get done put them in a covered bowl. (this helps to sweat the skins off)
10. PLEASE WEAR GLOVES! Peel off skin then cut off top and make a slit down the side. Open it up and remove seeds. It is now ready to use. You can see a step by step with pictures in my recipe "Fire Roasted Chilis/Peppers".

I'm really disappointed with this recipe. I followed the instructions exactly and the stuffed green chiles turned out terrible.

These stuffed green chiles were a complete disaster! The filling was runny and the chiles were falling apart.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my stuffed green chiles turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

I thought the stuffed green chiles were just okay. The filling was a little bland and the chiles were a bit tough.

The stuffed green chiles were a little spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I'll definitely be making them again, but I'll use milder chiles next time.

I'm not a huge fan of green chiles, but I really enjoyed these stuffed chiles. The filling was creamy and flavorful and the chiles were cooked perfectly.
