Stuffed Poblano Peppers (Take 1)

This past week I was asked by a friend to develope three recipes using his rubs.  The recipes would be used on new website and possibly in a self-published cookbook in 2011.  Because I promised a degree of confidentiality on this project the name of the rub has been left out of the recipe below.
