Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 5 Anaheim peppers (stemmed and cored ( or more as needed, depending on the size))
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 2 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  • FOR SERVING Chopped fresh cilantro, spicy chili flakes and hot sauce, if desired.

Instruction

  • Heat an oven to 400 degrees.
  • Place Anaheim peppers on a baking sheet and bake about 20-25 minutes, flipping once through, or until the skins become charred and puffy. Or, you can char them over open flame on the stovetop.
  • Remove from heat and cool slightly, then place into a plastic baggie to steam for several minutes. Once cooled enough, peel off the skins and discard. Set the peppers aside until ready to use.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine cheeses with garlic and Cajun seasoning. Mix well.
  • Slit each pepper down the center and scoop out the insides.
  • Spoon the seasoned cheese mixture into the peppers and set them into a baking dish.
  • Bake for 15 minutes. Alternatively, you can grill the stuffed Anaheim peppers for 15 minutes, or broil them for 6-7 minutes, until the cheeses are nice and melty.
  • Remove from heat and set onto serving plates.
  • Top with cilantro, spicy chili flakes and hot sauce, if desired.
