Stuffed peppers are all about healthy eating, right? After all, it's a vegetable we're stuffing here, not a calzone. Well, hold on to your socks, because we've put the classic flavors of a cheeseburger in a pepper. From the ground beef to the cheese to the sweet dressing on top, this is a cheeseburger with all the classics, but the bun. Healthy? Yes, but also delicious. Tip: To remove the core of a tomato, carefully cut a shallow circle around the stem with a small knife, then remove circle.

1 Start the Peppers
Stem peppers, halve, and remove seeds and ribs. Poblano peppers can vary in spice level; most are mild, but a few can be quite hot. Wash hands and cutting board after prepping.
Place peppers on prepared baking sheet, cut-side down. Spray peppers with cooking spray.Roast in hot oven until tender, 14-16 minutes.Don't worry if peppers char a bit; this adds flavor to the dish.While peppers roast, continue recipe. -

Coarsely chop pickles.Peel and mince shallot. -
3 Make the Filling
Place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat and spray with cooking spray.
Add ground beef, seasoned salt, and a pinch of salt and pepper to hot pan. Break up meat until no pink remains and beef reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 4-6 minutes.Drain excess liquid from pan, if desired. Stir in shallots until combined. Add half the tomatoes (reserve remaining for topping), demi-glace, and 2 Tbsp. water. Stir occasionally until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes.Remove from burner. -
4 Finish the Peppers
Carefully remove baking sheet from oven. Baking sheet will be hot! Use an oven mitt.
Carefully flip peppers, cut-side up, and distribute filling evenly among halves. Top with remaining tomatoes, then cheese.
