This a lot of preparation, but it is worth it, what I like to do is prepare the picadillo one day ahead if I can, to the picadillo I like to add carrots thinly choped and bell pepper as well. Some chiles come out hot, since my husband does not eat too hot, I prepare some water and salt (about 1 1/2 cup of water and 1tbsp of salt)and dip the clean chiles for at least 15 minutes, you can rinse them and dry them after that.

Delicious! Husband loved it too (and he can be picky)...he likes spicy so I substituted pepper jack cheese for the mozerrella and I like mild so I used cheddar in mine (thought mozzerella might be too bland)...I also substituted jarred salsa for the garlic, onion and tomatoes per another reviewer's suggestion...turned out great. Was thinking that to make this dish less time consuming, you could prep the the meat mixture ahead of time. And be careful not to over cook the peppers...I grilled mine too long and when trying to skin them they split in several places making it hard to stuff.

I used anaheim peppers instead of poblanos. I found the recipe to be alot of work and quite bland.

yummy! well worth the effort. If this isn't better than those boring cheese only kind!! My hubby who's all into "authentic only" thought they were fabulous. A great way to use my many poblanos from the garden.

I liked the simpleness of this recipe. I thought it could have used a little more flavor in the meat mixture. Perhaps some cilantro or using chorizo instead of ground beef. This was the first time I fried my poblanos and the flour and egg batter worked very nicely.

These are so good and just like you would get at a restaurant. I've always wanted to make these so that I didn't have to go out to eat to have them. I did only use monterey jack cheese for the stuffing of the pepper and that was so easy.

This is a somewhat labor-intensive recipe, but well worth making. I substituted 1/2 cup tomato/chipotle salsa for one of the tomatoes. My husband's comments: "You can make this one again. The poblano peppers are just spicy enough, but not over powering...you can make this again." He usually doesn't repeat himself like that. These were very tasty!

These were fabulous. I didn't blacken the skins, just got them to where they had separated from the pepper and then gently rubbed them off. I sliced them open only about half way, that way I wouldn't have as much pepper to suture up later with toothpicks and gently crammed the cheese mixture into the cavity of the pepper. Everyone gobbled them up and I was only able to salvage 2 for myself. I will definitely be making these again!

Nice flavor, but very labor intensive, and they tended to fall apart. I saved most, and they were pretty good. Also used veggie crumbles instead of meat.

Came out great! My husband and I didn't put any meat in it just cheese, since this is what we're used to. Next time we will definitely try w/meat. Also, instead of mozzarella, try cotija cheese.. it works very well.

We messed up when blistering/roasting peppers so they got mushy and the final product didn't look too pretty. We also used hot italian sausage instead of hamburger which was really good. Will make it again!

The peppers fell apart and the toothpicks weren't saving them. Not sure how long they were supposed to be broiled but I guess they were overdone. Also the fried part was too oily to eat.

I have made these before and they are absolutely wonderful......if you can't take the heat, you can use anaheim peppers instead. Because I haven't found a good recipe for ranchero sauce, we purchase it from our favorite Mexican restaurant and spoon over the top of the peppers. These freeze well also, so if you are taking the time to prepare them already, take a little extra time to prepare some for freezing.

Reminded me of summers at my abuelitas house. I used mexican queso fresco (Cacique Brand) because that's what I remember my granma using. Other than that I followed the recipe exactly. Finally, a trully authentic Mexican recipe just like my granmas!!!!
