Prep Time:20 minutes
Cook Time:40 minutes
Total Time:1 hour

Ingredients

  • 2 to 3 poblanos roasted
  • 1 1/2 lb Chorizo
  • 1/4 C 1/2 stick butter
  • 2 medium yellow onions chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 package Pepperidge Farms Unseasoned Cubed Stuffing
  • 1 C vegetable broth
  • 1 C dried cranberries
  • 2 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
  • *salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Roast the poblanos under the broiler, or over your gas stove until the skins are blistered and blackened. Immediately place them into a paper bag, close and set aside.
  • Remove the chorizo from the casing (if there is one) and place it into a large cast iron skillet over medium heat.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 350°F
  • While the chorizo is cooking, chop the onion, mince the garlic, slip the poblanos out of their skins, remove the tops, and the seeds - if you want - and chop the poblanos.
  • Once the chorizo is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set it aside - make sure to leave some of the yummy browned chorizo bits and grease in the skillet.
  • Add in the butter and melt.
  • Toss in the onions, garlic, and poblanos and cook until the onions just start to become translucent, but are still slightly crisp.
  • Add the chorizo back in and blend.
  • Pour the cubed stuffing into the skillet along with the vegetable broth and dried cranberries, mix thouroughly (if you're not cooking it in the skillet - you can mix it all up in a bowl and transfer it to a large 9X13 baking dish)
  • Bake uncovered for 30 to 40 minutes, until the top layer is crispy.
  • Sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro and serve.
