There are so many chili pepper varieties in the world, and so many of them are ideal for stuffing. They’re the perfect vessels for all sorts of delicious goodness. One of the most popular peppers around is the Anaheim chili pepper. The Anaheim is a mild pepper with a thick enough flesh to be slightly meaty in texture, especially when roasted. You’ll find them in most grocery stores in the fresh fruit and vegetables section, along with other more popular peppers. That’s it. Very simple. Simple is good, right? I used my own Homemade Cajun Seasoning Blend for this recipe, but feel free to use your own preferred blend. Or try a nice Creole blend. Let’s talk about how we make these stuffed Anaheim peppers, shall we? Next, place the Anaheim peppers on a baking sheet and bake them 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 stove top, like I have done here. Flip them occasionally to let the skins char and bubble up. Learn more about how to roast peppers here. Remove the peppers 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. While peppers are roasting, mix together your cream cheese, cheddar cheese, Cajun seasonings and fresh minced garlic. Spoon the Cajun cream cheese mixture into the peppers and set them into a baking dish. Remove from heat and set onto serving plates. Top with cilantro, spicy chili flakes and hot sauce, if desired.
