Chili Rellenos

MMMmmm I made chili rellenos for lunch. They were awesome.

I put 4 Annaheim (sp) peppers (long green peppers) under the broiler to char the skin, I turned them a couple times to get all sides good and charred. Then put then in a paper sack and let them sit there for about 10 minutes. Then skinned them under cold water. Cut a slit in them and raked out the seeds. I browned some ground buffalo and seasoned it with ground cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika. I measured out my meat and cheese and stuffed it inside the peppers and secured it with a toothpick, then heated some olive oil in a pan and kinda seared it up some in the skillet I also sprinkled some of the above seasonings on top. I was able to have two of these beauties!! I saved a some meat and cheese to sprinkle on top when they were done. I have two more already made ready for lunch tomorrow. Next time I will do the prep work ahead of time. I can char the peppers and skin them ahead of time and keep in fridge, and if I have left over ground buffalo taco meat in the fridge i could make these in a snap. They were good even without the beloved sauce. You can also make this like a casserole I guess. Line them up in a pan and pop in the oven rather than sear them in a skillet. Oh they were so good .
