Stuffed Poblano Peppers
"I adapted these from a Rachel Ray recipe for chili rellenos. They are so good we almost couldn't stop eating them. The only problem was that the poblano pepper was much hotter then we thought it would be. It's supposed to be mildly hot but it was hot hot."

This was amazing- I am making it again next week! I changed the inside a bit (canned corn, baked beans, red pepper, and onion) but cooked and prepped it the same way. If you get true poblano peppers, they shouldn't be hot (try getting them from a farmer's market). Thanks! -
Delicious! I grew poblanos in my garden this year and needed something to do with them. It was a wonderful contrast between sweet from the corn, and acidic from the tomatoes. And the cheese on top made it super comforting. I would make this again in a heartbeat. -
Great recipe! I now buy Poblano Peppers every time I go to the grocery store because of this recipe. Only one time the peppers were hot, but a medium hot at the most. I prefer to pull the skin off the peppers after letting them sit for about 5 minutes prior to stuffing. I added a couple more minutes in order to slightly brown the cheese on the top in the last step (see photo). -
Was very good. But i will have to disagree with some reviewers about heat and poblanos. while poblanos usually are a mild pepper, i have had some that have been hotter than jalapenos or serranos. if you dont want to take the chance, use anaheims. -
I really liked these. My husband missed having meat with his.Maybe I will try them again and add some shredded chicken, but I liked them just the way they were, He got a spicy one, while I got a mild one. I've ordered Chili rellanos in restaurants , and I've had hot ones, and mild.I guess you never know what you're going to get. This is worth making again.

I am very interested in healthy eating. It's surprising that things that so many people think are healthy, aren't really healthy at all. I generally take recipes that I find and make them healthier by using whole grain flour instead of white and by using sucanat or stevia instead of sugar.
I love the internet and I really enjoy finding new recipes on Recipezaar.
