Chorizo Stuffed Poblano Peppers (Can Sub Sweet Peppers) image

I love the smokey flavor of poblanos, but sweet peppers may be substituted. Adjust the amount of sweet peppers used if very large. Poblanos are smaller. Don't leave off a dollop of sour cream for it mellows the taste. A dish to be ready in 30 minutes for your own fiesta. From Home Made Simple.

These stuffed peppers were just okay. The chorizo was a bit dry and the peppers were undercooked.

I love this recipe! It's a great way to use up leftover chorizo. The peppers are always tender and flavorful.

These peppers were easy to make and turned out great! I used sweet peppers instead of poblanos, and they were still delicious.

I've made this recipe twice now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of the smoky poblanos and the spicy chorizo is irresistible.

This recipe was a hit at my last party! The poblano peppers were perfectly roasted, and the chorizo stuffing was flavorful and juicy. My guests raved about them, and I'm definitely making them again soon.
