CHEESE STUFFED POBLANO CHILES
6 small-medium poblano chiles, about 1 pound
16 ounces Muenster cheese
1 cup Red Enchilada Sauce
Roast and peel the chiles (see my note below). Place them in a greased 9x13" baking dish. Cut the cheese into 6 equal size slabs and insert them in the chiles. Spoon the enchilada sauce over each chile. Bake at 350º 20 minutes.

They had some nice poblano chiles at the store today for a very good price so I came up with this simple way to use them. You can use any kind of cheese you like instead of the Muenster. I like that Muenster cheese melts very creamy yet doesn't give off a lot of oil like cheddar does sometimes. Monterey jack cheese would also work quite well. Click the photo to see a close-up.
