Canoas de Platanos Maduros (Sweet Plantain Canoes Recipe)

Preheat the oven to 350F. Microwave frozen maduros for 5 minutes. Once done, cut chunks in half, place eventually in a baking dish and bake for 25 – 30 minutes until golden but not too caramelized. Meanwhile, cook your hamburger meat and drain once fully cooked. Return to heat, add your adobo, sazon, recaito and sofrito. Stir well. It should be eventually coated with spices; if not, you may add more. When ready, remove the dish from the oven, sprinkle generous amounts of grated cheese on top, add hamburger meat mixture, and then top with more grated cheese. Return to the oven for 15 – 20 minutes until the cheese has melted. Serve hot.
