Queso Fundido Stuffed Poblanos

These Queso Fundido Stuffed Poblanos are super yummy and really easy to make.  And, it is one of those things that could be an appetizer or an entree and would be perfect football game watching food.  We topped them with cilantro, tomatoes, and green onions and served them with chips, salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.  Just delicious!

When you are shopping for your poblano peppers for this recipe, try to find large ones that are fairly well rounded.  You want to be able to slice them long ways and still be able to get plenty of filling inside.  I cooked mine in a large iron skillet, which kept them from turning over, but any pan that they can sit snug against each other, so that they don’t tip over and let the cheese out will work.
