Stuffed Anaheim Peppers Recipe

This Stuffed Anaheim Peppers Recipe is made with anaheim peppers, cream cheese, blue cheese, and salt.

I made Cheese Stuffed Jalapeños and a LOT of people couldn't handle it! I totally recommend trying the famous Anaheim peppers. Why? A jalapeño pepper is too spicy, a bell pepper is too mild, and an Anaheim pepper is JUST right!

This is a classic delicious Tex-Mex recipe, not to mention a great Keto recipe using the anaheim peppers. I have lived in both Mexico and Texas and these stuffed peppers are widely eaten in Texas, not so much Mexico. In Mexico, the peppers that are mostly consumed are poblano peppers. The "stuffed peppers" made in Mexico are ones called Chiles en Nogada. Of all the low-carb vegetables, the humble anaheim pepper has to be the most underrated, making this a keto friendly recipe.

What should I serve this with?

These peppers serve as a perfect side dish if you are making a Mexican entree like Cochinita Pibil, Carnitas tostadas or Tamales.

How to make Stuffed Anaheim Peppers Recipe

Preheat the grill to 400 degrees F. 

Place Anaheim peppers on the grill and grill for 25-30 minutes, flipping once until the skins are charred. 

Remove from heat and let them cool slightly. Cut them open and remove the skins and scoop out the seeds and insides. 

Spoon the cream cheese and blue cheese (you can do only cream cheese or blue cheese - or even combine them). Sprinkle some salt if you wish. 

Place back in the grill for an extra 10 minutes. In order to do this, you will need a grill mat or an aluminum pan. (The reason for this is the cheese drips.) If you don’t have this, bake in the oven for 10 minutes at 400 degrees F. 

Serve and enjoy!

Notes

• The longer you cook the pepper more, the milder it becomes. If you cook for 20 minutes, the pepper should be spicier.
