Experiment with banana peppers

My friend gave me a lot of fresh veggies on Sat, including hot banana peppers. A couple weeks ago, my daughter gave me half a wheel of Baby Swiss. I was thinking how to use the peppers-already have a lot of peppers frozen for the winter. I thought I'd try putting a spin on jalapeno poppers. So I cleaned the peppers, patted them dry, and put a mini block of cheese and some bacon bits in each one, and roasted them at 350 for 20 minutes. Really happy with the results!

and not just because yellow peppers are a little hotter, but also because they don't have that green, unripe taste.

My favorite roasting pepper for a cheesy filling, with or without other protein, is the poblano. It's dark green, almost black when ripe. It's hotter than most of the larger peppers, but the cheese filling takes care of that. People who hate hot stuff can use a little sour cream to decrease it more.

Yum, hot peppers and cheese. You can't go far wrong.

My daughter likes poblamos. They joined farm coop a few years ago, and last year, she was getting poblamos every pickup. There is a garden center and they usually offer a lot of different peppers, so I'll look there
