Stuffed Poblamo Peppers
The Peppers
Two good sized poblano peppers, half, clean (wear gloves if sensitive), brown slightly, blister or two, skin size up, turn and broil inside. Set aside.
Meat and Rice
Brown 1/2 pound (this is a pound) hamburger (I used elk), with 1/2 chopped yellow or white onion. Cook rice (I used Uncle Ben's instant).
Sauce
Mix 1/2 to 3/4 cup salsa, 1/2 cup cooked rice, 1/2 16oz can corn, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1/2 tsp chili powder or 1 tsp chipotle seasoning (I like the latter), green onion tops, salt and pepper.
Stuff Peppers
Stuffed Peppers
Stuff Peppers, Top With Cheese, return to oven under broiler and melt.
Serve
My wife likes shredded lettuce with her Mexican food so we garnish plate with it and serve with fruit. This is a kick-ass dish, easily doubled, easy for company. Always better with a rich red if you inbibe. :-)

Montana is huckleberry heaven...if you don't have to shoo off the grizzlies to pick them. This was a GREAT huckleberry ice-cream pie.

Reader's Cookbooks!
Cooking Wild and Wonderful
If you enjoy a cookbook with lots of reading, this is the one for you. It's not about game cooking, and the wild doesn't mean that. It's a look at Wolfpack Ranch and what and how we do! Click on the cover or the action button to grab a copy.
California Cocina
California Cocina is a look back in time, with quotes from journals and biographies from the gracious rancho days of old California, where it was said, "It's better to be on time than invited." Click on the cover to grab a copy.
I hope you enjoy my cookbooks as much as I enjoyed working on them!
My Chuckwagon!
A project for the summer!
I found this old John Deere, turn of the century, wagon and thought it had decent bones. I skinned it and made myself a contemporary chuck/BBQ wagon.
Design as you go!
I wanted to stay as true as possible to the old designs, yet accommodate modern BBQs and a gas range. It also has a gas deep fryer.
Gotta have a whiskey barrel!
I can cook for eighty or so and have done so with this rig. Doing all the labor myself, the canvas top cost as much as the rest of the rebuild.
Great fun cooking, outside!
Everyone with a beer or glass of wine in hand, kibitzing the cook, who cooks with wine (in hand)
