Steps:

• Preheat the oven broiler.
• Spread the tomatoes, garlic, poblanos, onion, and Serrano chile out on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil, flipping until charred on all sides, about 3 minutes for the garlic and 10 minutes for the rest of the vegetables.

• Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over high heat. Sprinkle the meat with salt and pepper and working in batches, add the beef the oil and cook until browned on all sides, about 3 minutes per batch. Transfer the meat to a large plate as it is browned.
• Add the chili powder, cumin, flour, oregano, chipotle powder and cinnamon to the pan drippings and whisk to make a paste. Stir in the beer and 2 cups water. Return the meat to the Dutch oven along with the collected juices, the tomato-pepper mixture and 2 teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes. Add the beans bring back to a simmer and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the meat is tender and the sauce is thick, about 1 1/2 hours more.

Steps:

• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place poblano peppers with cut sides down onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Cook under the preheated broiler until poblano pepper skins have blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Place blackened peppers into a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Allow peppers to steam as they cool, about 10 minutes.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef, chili powder, garlic, cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper, paprika, chipotle pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cook and stir until beef is no longer pink, about 4 minutes. Add onion; cook until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes with green chiles; cook until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes more. Let beef mixture cool.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray.
• Run water over the poblano peppers to remove skins and discard them. Drain peppers on paper towels. Place a layer of peppers on the bottom of the prepared dish; place 1/3 of the beef mixture on top. Cover with 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend. Repeat layers twice more in the same order.
• Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until golden brown on top, about 35 minutes.
