Steps:

• To make the potatoes: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Set the potatoes directly on the rack in the center of the oven and bake until easily pierced with a fork, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, make the chili: Preheat a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat, then add the oil. Add the onion, garlic, and salt, and cook, stirring, until lightly browned and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the ancho chile, oregano, cumin, coriander, and cloves and cook, stirring, until dark and fragrant, about 45 seconds. Add the tomato paste and chipotle. Using your hands, crush the tomatoes while adding them to the saucepan and cook, stirring, until the chipotle and tomato mixture is dark red, about 2 minutes. Add the beef, break it up with a wooden spoon, and cook, stirring occasionally, until well-browned, about 3 minutes. Add the beans and beer and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thick and fragrant, about 15 minutes. Lay the potatoes on the side they naturally roll to, and carefully cut a shallow oval out of the tops to make 6 lids. Gently scrape most of the potato pulp out of the lids and transfer to a large bowl. Reserve the lids. Carefully scoop out the insides from only 4 of the potatoes into the large bowl, leaving the shells intact. Scoop out the pulp from the remaining 2 potatoes into a small bowl and reserve for another use. (See Cook's Note.) Add 1/2 cup of the cheese, butter, salt, and scallion to the large bowl of pulp and mash lightly with a fork. Season with pepper, to taste. Lightly season the insides of the shells and lids with salt and pepper. Refill them with the potato mixture, pressing it into the bottom and against the sides.
• Set the filled potatoes on a baking sheet and fill each to the brim with some of the chili, mounding as much as you can on top (you'll need the rest for later). Mound the remaining 3/4 cup cheese over the potatoes. Place the potato lids skin-side down on the baking sheet. Bake until heated through and the cheese has melted and browned, about 12 minutes. Reheat the remaining chili. Transfer the stuffed potatoes to a serving platter and top each with a dollop of sour cream. Lean the potato lids against the sour cream and serve immediately, with the chili on the side for refills.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a large skillet over medium high heat, saute the beef and onion for 5 to 10 minutes, or until meat is browned and onion is tender; drain fat. Add the celery, chili, tomatoes, taco sauce and corn. Heat thoroughly, reduce heat to low and allow to simmer.
• Meanwhile, prepare the noodles according to package directions. When cooked, place them in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour the meat mixture over the noodles, stirring well. Top with the cheese.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 20 minutes, or until cheese is completely melted and bubbly.

Steps:

• Brown the ground beef. Drain excess fat. Stir in softened cream cheese while still hot so that it melts evenly together.
• Mix jack cheese, tomatoes, onions, and salt into the beef-cheese mixture.
• Clean seeds out of peppers by first cutting around the stem then gently sliting one side of the pepper lengthwise almost but not quite to the end.
• Stuff the peppers with the meat mixture. Don't overstuff, you want to be able to close the slit so that the cheese doesn't leak out.
• Wrap each pepper in foil and fold the ends over to create a good seal.
• Grill on medium-high with the lid down about 3-5 minutes per side (rolling at least 3 times), or until the pepper is grilled to the desired doneness and the filling is hot. Grilling an extra, unstuffed pepper in the usual way can serve as a doneness indicator since it would be done just a little bit before the stuffed pepper. We like our peppers tender but not mushy.
• I recommend serving with a summery salad with plenty of tomatoes and cucumbers in it, tortillas, and Mexican rice.
• Note: Can be prepped ahead and held in the fridge before grilling but grilling will take longer if the filling is cold.
• Note: Peppers vary in size so if you have any filling left put it into a small dish and heat well to serve with tortillas or pita chips.
• Note:Wear gloves when handling the chilies and be careful not to touch eyes or other sensitive body parts.
• Option: Mix could be used to stuff Jalepeno peppers as appetizers if you cut the tomatoes small enough and used a fish basket for the grilling.
• Option: If you are feeding people who can't handle hot peppers substitute Cubanelles or Italian Frying Peppers. I do not recommend bell peppers for this recipe because the peppers will cook to the mushy point by the time the filling is hot.
