Ingredients
1 red onion
1 poblano pepper
10 oz pkg ground pork
5 oz white rice
¼ oz chorizo chili spice blend
2 (1 oz) cream cheese Milk
How to make it
1
Prep ingredients. Preheat oven to 425°F with a rack in the center. Halve onion and finely chop. Transfer ¼ cup chopped onion to a small bowl and reserve for step 5. Halve poblano pepper lengthwise, discard stem and seeds, then coarsely chop.
2
Cook veggies & pork. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium pot or Dutch oven over medium-high. Add poblano and remaining onions; cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender and just beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add ground pork and ½ teaspoon salt; cook pork, breaking up into smaller pieces, until browned, about 5 minutes. Spoon off and discard any fat.
3
Toast & season rice. To pot with pork, add rice and chorizo chili spice blend; cook, stirring, until toasted, about 2 minutes. Stir in 1¼ cups water and all of the cream cheese. Bring to a boil, stirring to incorporate cream cheese.
4
Bake rice. Cover rice and bake on center oven rack until water is absorbed and rice is cooked through, about 17 minutes.
5
Pickle onion & serve. Meanwhile, to small bowl with reserved onions, add 1 tablespoon vinegar, ½ teaspoon sugar, and ¼ teaspoon salt; stir to combine. Let sit, stirring occasionally, while rice bakes. Fluff rice with a fork and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve baked rice and pork topped with pickled onion. Enjoy!
6
Spice it up. The chorizo chili spice blend and poblano peppers already add a little heat to this one-pot bake, but if you want to kick it up when it's time to serve, add hot sauce or chopped pickled jalapeños.
