How to Make Baked Hatch Chile Rellenos

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  6. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain any excess fat.

  8. Fill each poblano pepper with the beef mixture.
  9. Top each pepper with a mixture of Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese.
  10. Place filled peppers in a baking dish.
  11. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
