Ingredients

4 large Chile Peppers Poblano, bell, anaheim, or jalapeno

1 teaspoon olive oil

2 cloves Garlic crushed

1/4 cup Green onion diced

1/2 cup Whole corn frozen is fine

1/2 cup Peas frozen is fine

1/4 cup Carrot shredded fine

1/4 cup Broccoli Slaw shredded fine

4 ounces Neufchatel Cheese at room temp

2 ounces Cheddar cheese shredded fine

1/4 cup Cilantro Chopped

1/8 teaspoon Kosher Salt to taste

1/4 teaspoon Black pepper coarse ground


Directions

You need to pick peppers that are large enough to hold some filling. I chose Anaheims. Briefly roast the peppers over an open flame (or under the broiler) to blister the skin. Rub off the skin and remove the seeds from each pepper through a slit down the side. With smaller peppers it may be easier to remove the top and remove the seeds & veins with an apple corer. Set aside. Heat the olive oil in a large pan and saute the vegetables enough to soften them (but not so much that they lose color). About 4 - 5 minutes should work. Then add the cheeses and mix thoroughly. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Preheat oven to 350 Using a spoon (or a plastic bag with a corner snipped) fill each pepper about 90% full. Place them on a baking sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly. Serve hot. NOTES: Your choice of peppers controls the number of peppers you need. Larger peppers hold more filling so you need fewer. Large jalapeno or caribe peppers hold a lot less so you'll need more of them. Smaller peppers can be filled from the top, capped with a bacon strip, and roasted vertically in a wire rack. The choice of vegetables is limited only by your imagination and availability. Go for a mix of colors and flavors. Using Anaheim peppers each (app 200g) serving contains an estimated: Cals: 210, FatCals: 116, TotFat: 13g SatFat: 7g, PolyFat: 1g, MonoFat: 4g Chol: 36mg, Na: 200mg, K: 410mg TotCarbs: 15g, Fiber: 4g, Sugars: 3g NetCarbs: 11g, Protein: 9g Adapted from recipe by Chef Bill Wavrin

Awesome! Option: stuff peppers with whatever sounds good. :)

Did not like flavor at all. I even tried adding more cheese and flavoring it with a few extra spices after my first taste, but it was still the same. Would not fix again.

Made as a main dish, added some leftover rice, a touch of breadcrumbs and egg before stuffing. Just before baking I added chopped ham to some and extra cheese to others. Was a big hit and good for a weeknight . The skins did not slide off my cubanelle peppers so I just left them on. Served with salsa.
