How clever! These were great as written but I have since tweaked them with taco seasoning and sharp cheddar cheese and served with Taco soup! YUM! I've shared the recipe with a friend who has a catering company and she has gotten rave reviews every time she uses it! Thanks for sharing!

AWESOME! Every once in a while, a recipe comes along that just makes you say, WOW! This was one of those for me. DH and I both agreed this was an easy five stars and then some. Easy to make, fantastic presentation, and the peppers added great flavor to the cornbread (and poblanos aren't spicy - even my two-year-old ate this). Leftovers were just as tasty as the first night. I chose not to use pimentos since I don't care for them. I used just three peppers, but this did make the filling overflow slightly; I believe four peppers would be perfect. This was served with another keeper - recipe#241322; the two combined made for an exceptional meal! I'll never make corn muffins any other way!

I love them! And we like spicey hot food so I added fresh diced Jalapenos and garlic to the corn muffin mix. I used green and red pepper cups and after baking sliced them into rings and topped with cheese...popped under the broiler and served them at a Superbowl Party....they were the first to go! (Picture is before the cheese and broiler >

Made these tonight. Used 3 large poblano peppers instead of the 6 and found I had just enough muffin batter to fill them. I did bake the peppers for 15 mins at 350 before filling with the batter as I like my peppers on the soft side. Drained out the liquid which pools in the peppers. They were still firm enough when done to pick up. Didn't have the cilantro or the pimento and they still came out great!

I also used half the recommended pimientos and replaced the other half with diced green chilies. It was EXCELLENT! Very flavorful, but not overwhelming.
