Cheesy Stuffed Poblano Pepper Recipe

With Summer in full swing and our gardens producing a delicious bounty, it's time to start sharing a few more harvest recipes.

This stuffed pepper recipe can be "tweaked" to fit your fancy. You can make it a meal or serve as a side dish. This recipe in particular is similar to a Jalapeno Popper only with a larger Poblano pepper. You can use the same "stuffing" for Jalapenos or Anaheim peppers if that's what you have.
