Traeger Stuffed Poblano Peppers are just one of the appetizers I made for my dad’s birthday party.

You kinda can’t go wrong with anything stuffed with sausage and cheesy goodness.

I made the filling the night before and stuffed poblanos the day of his birthday.

And smoked them for that extra kiss of wood fired flavor 🙂

You could use this same filling for jalapenos, but my dad is a sucker for poblanos so that’s what I went with.

How to Make Traeger Stuffed Poblano Peppers

Start with some olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

And add a diced onion, diced red pepper, kosher salt, and pepper.

Cook this for a few minutes, stirring a few times.

Then some garlic and a pound of ground Italian sausage will join the peppers and onions.

Cook this for around 8 minutes, and break up the sausage with a spatula as it cooks.

Now comes the cheesy goodness that I promised earlier 😉

First up is a block of cream cheese.

I cut mine in smaller pieces, but you can add the whole block at once.

Either way, stir until the cream cheese is melted and evenly combined.

Then 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheese (I used Mexican blend).

Stir until melted…I mean this right here could be a dip or just eaten with a spoon.

YUM!

Let the filling cool slightly while you prepare the poblano peppers.

Cut them in half, remove some of the seeds and most of the white ribs.

Poblanos are a very mild pepper, very little heat but a whole lot of flavor.

I barely fit the filling into 4 poblano peppers, so I probably should have called these “extra stuffed” peppers.

Depending on size you could stuff between 4 or 5 peppers.

Set the Traeger to 350 degrees and place them right on the grill grate for 20 to 30 minutes.

They could bake in a 350 degree oven on a baking sheet for the same time.

Traeger Stuffed Poblano Peppers are even more delicious than they are gorgeous!

I gently removed mine from the Traeger with a spatula.

And for sure these guys will have to be eaten with a knife and fork 😉
