Place the peppers in a bowl and cover the bowl with foil or plastic wrap for 10-15 minutes. You can brown the meat for the stew while you wait.

BEEF AND ROASTED POBLANO EMPANADAS

Steps:

• For the Dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, combine flour, 5 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon of salt on medium speed until completely blended. With the motor running, slowly add in water and continue to mix until a soft and pliable dough forms, 3 to 5 minutes. Flatten the dough into a 6-inch round, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator to let rest for 30 minutes to 4 hours.
• For the Filling: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon canola oil over medium high heat until it smokes lightly. Remove the pan from the heat and add the ground beef in a single layer. Season with salt. Return the pan to the heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes. Drain the beef, transfer the meat to a large bowl, and set aside.
• In a separate skillet, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, season with salt, and cook until soft and translucent, 8 to 10 minutes. Mix the onions and garlic into the beef and chill in the refrigerator. Once the meat mixture is cooled, add cumin and cayenne and mix to combine cumin. Add the cream cheese and mix well.
• Meanwhile, on an open flame or grill, roast the poblanos on all sides until charred, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Set aside to let cool enough to handle. Remove the skin, seeds and ribs. Cut the peppers into small strips. Set aside to let cool.
• For Empanadas: Line a sheet tray with parchment paper and dust with flour, set aside. Lightly dust a flat work surface with flour. Roll out dough into a 1/8-inch thick sheet. Make sure you flour only one side of the dough (if you flour both sides this will prevent the dough from sticking together when crimping the empanada.) Let the dough rest for 10 minutes. Use a 3-inch cookie cutter to stamp out 24 to 26 rounds.
• Place a couple of strips of poblano in the center of one round and top it with 1 tablespoon of the beef mixture. Fold the dough in half to form a half moon and crimp the edges together by gently pressing them with the tines of a fork to seal. Place the cookie cutter over the empanada and use the edge to cut off any excess dough. Repeat with the remaining poblano strips, filling, and dough. Place the empanadas as done in a single layer on the parchment-lined baking sheet that has been dusted with flour. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
• Place a wire rack on a sheet tray, set aside. In a medium pot with a heavy bottom, heat the remaining canola oil until it reaches 350 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Slowly place 3 to 4 empanadas into the hot oil (don't crowd the pot) and fry, stirring occasionally with a slotted spoon, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes total. Transfer cooked empanadas to a wire rack set over a sheet pan. Sprinkle immediately with salt. Working in batches, fry the remaining empanadas and arrange in a single layer on the rack. Place the sheet pan in the center of the oven and heat for 5 to 8 minutes to ensure the centers of the empanadas are warm.
• Serve empanadas with tomato salsa on the side.

POBLANO BEEF CASSEROLE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brown ground beef in a skillet. Add onion, salt & pepper to taste. Once beef is browned, add the roasted and chopped poblano peppers, the can of soup and water. Stir to mix well. **If you cannot find Campbell's Cream of Poblano Soup in the stores where you live, use Cream of Celery and simmer about 20 minutes with about a half a cup of roasted, fine chopped poblano pepper. You do want the flavor of the pepper well infused throughout the dish. For that matter, you can use the Cream of Celery soup w/no poblano pepper for a little milder flavor. You decide for yourself. You can use the dried chiles, as long as you reconstitute in warm water for about an hour before using and chop well. Poblano chiles may be hard to find in some parts of the country.
• 2. In a 2 quart baking dish, spray with nonstick cooking spray or grease well. Spoon half of the cooked rice into the bottom of the dish and spread around evenly. Cover this with half of the soup/beef mixture. Cover this layer with half of the shredded cheese. Top with the rest of the rice, spread out, add the cilantro, the rest of the soup/beef mixture and top with remaining cheese. (As a tasty option, break up a couple of handsfull of real fried corn tortilla chips on top, then top w/cheese.)
• 3. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for one hour. Remove from oven and let sit for 15-20 minutes before serving. Can serve with dinner rolls or with corn tortilla chips and your favorite salsa!
• 4. NOTE: For some who do not care for poblano peppers, you may use sweet bell pepper. Use green, red, yellow or a combination of all colors to make a milder tasting dish. When cooked in this way, poblano peppers are not usually spicy hot, but some can be a little spicy. If you are not accustomed to this, you may use the bell pepper and maybe try a little of the poblano to lighten the flavor a bit. Buen Probecho, Y'all!
