Start with some nice, mild peppers--I used Gypsy peppers.
Cut them open on one side and scrape out the seeds and rinse the inside in cold water to get out any remaining seeds.
Get the grill up somewhere between 200 and 250. Put the peppers on the grill and rotate them, as needed, to get them blackened a little and starting to soften. Because you are using such a mild pepper, there is no reason to peel the pepper. You are just trying to get a little smoky flavor.
Now, remove the peppers from the grill. Fill them with cheese. I used the Mexican mix with Monterey Jack, Cheddar, Questo Quesadilla and Asadero. Close them with wooden toothpicks and return to the grill. Continue cooking to finish softening the pepper and melt the cheese.
To serve, spoon ranchero (or salsa) sauce over the top and sprinkle some additional cheese on for garnish.
Not quite like going to Chevy's, but a heck of a lot lower in fat since you left out 6 eggs and the 3-4 inches of oil in the skillet that you would ordinarily have used for the frying---and a lot less mess
