Grilled & Stuffed Beef Poblano Peppers

Serves 4

Total Recipe Time: 50 minutes

1 lb. Ground Beef (93% lean or leaner)

4 medium poblano peppers

1/4 cup diced onion

1/4 cup sliced mushrooms

4 oz low fat cream cheese

4 eggs

Salt and pepper

Hot Sauce (optional)

1. Roast the poblano peppers over an open flame until the skin becomes charred. Remove from flame and let them cool.

2. While the peppers cool, cook the Ground Beef, onions and mushrooms in a frying pan. Strain off any fat, and season with salt and pepper.

3. Lightly scrape off the charred skin from the poblano peppers with a spoon. Cut a small slit down the middle of one side of the pepper. Be careful and try not to cut through the pepper as you will be filling the pepper up!

4. Fill each pepper with equal portions of the cooked beef and veggie combo. Put 1 oz of cream cheese in each of the peppers and wrap them all in tin foil. Return to the grill for 10 minutes on low.

5. While the peppers are cooking, scramble your eggs. Remove the peppers open up the slit, and stuff your eggs inside. Top with a small pinch of pepper, or a dash of your favorite hot sauce to kick it up!
