    Roasted poblano peppers and sweet corn come together in this rich tasting casserole! Poblano Corn Casserole is delicious all seasons and pairs well with everything from steaks to grilled chicken. 

    The weather has finally warmed up in our little sliver of Texas. Schedules are clearing up and the days are getting longer, which means one thing – it's time to kick off BBQ season!

    Poblano Corn Casserole

    Poblano Corn Casserole is a great summer side dish. Especially if you are looking to make something unique that isn’t loaded with mayonnaise or fried. It’s a great way to use any fresh corn you have on hand and it tastes much more rich than it really is. This recipe always gets rave reviews from friends and family. 

    How to Roast Poblano Peppers

    There are several ways to roast Poblano Peppers. They can be roasted in the oven, broiler, grill or stovetop. I find it easiest to roast peppers using the broiler as described below. 

    To roast peppers using the broiler: Wash and dry peppers. Turn on broiler and adjust rack. Place peppers on a foil-lined baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes. Flip peppers half way through cooking time to ensure all sides are blackened. Once peppers are sufficiently roasted, remove from oven and place them in a paper bag or bowl covered with plastic wrap. Let the peppers sit for 10-15 minutes. When the peppers have cooled and the skin is starting to easily peel off carefully remove the seeds, stem and outer skin. Roasted poblano peppers can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for 5 days. 

    Recipe Substitutions

    • Roasted Poblano Peppers - Roasted Hatch Green Chiles can be substituted if poblano is not available. 
    • Corn Kernels - Frozen or fresh corn kernels may be used. 
    • Cheese - Any cheddar based blend of cheese may be used.

      I love poblanos & I love this recipe. I used a little more salt & added hot sauce plus 1 diced jalapeno. Delicious

      How well does this reheat? Looking for thanksgiving side dishes that could be made ahead of time and reheated (possibly microwave?)- oven space is limited.

        Hi Carrie - The cream corn keeps this dish moist so this actually does reheat well! I think you could reheat it in the microwave as long as it had been completely cooked before. For best quality I wouldn't make it more than one day in advance. Thanks!
