• Prep time: 10 minutes
• Cook time: 25-30 minutes
• Serves: 4-6

Equipment Needed

• measuring cups
• 9×13 glass baking dish
• knife
• cutting board
• large skillet

Ingredients

• 2 cups sugar-free tomato sauce, divided
• 4 large poblano peppers
• 1½ lbs. bulk chorizo sausage
• 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
• 4 oz. goat cheese, softened

Optional

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Spread tomato sauce across bottom of a 9×13” glass baking dish and set it aside.

Cut the poblano peppers in half lengthwise, leaving stems intact on one side. Remove the seeds and set aside.

Brown the chorizo in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the meat is no longer pink. Remove the pan from the heat and drain excess fat from pan.

Add the cream cheese, goat cheese, and ¼ cup Parmesan cheese to the skillet and stir until the cheese is melted and the sausage is thoroughly coated. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Carefully spoon the sausage mixture into empty poblano pepper halves and arrange them in prepared glass baking dish.

Sprinkle remaining Parmesan cheese across the top of the peppers.

Place the baking dish into the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the peppers are heated through.
