Very good! A friend gave me a deep covered baker and this was the first recipe I tried. Made as directed with Penzey's fajita seasoning, I'd also like to try it with their Adobo seasoning. Microwaved using the higher cooking times. My poblanos weren't completely soft, so next time I'd probably cut them smaller. Served with grated Monterey Jack cheese, but a variety of toppings would be good. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

We like this recipe a lot, but I usually cook it on the stovetop instead of in the microwave.

I received a book with this recipe from a from a friend and my son (16) wanted me to make it...I found it easy, and DELICIOUS!!!! I have since made it about 10 times to bring to get together's and have NEVER heard a complaint. You do have to like garlic and chili.... other then that its a winner!

Excellent. The only thing different I did was to roast the poblano peppers and then peel/seed them. Also only roasted 2 heads of garlic. Added northern beans as well. This is very, very good, and I do NOT like northern white beans at all!
