Ingredients

4 poblano peppers
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1 ear fresh corn, kernels cut off
1 tablespoon butter
1 small onion, sliced
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
½ cup heavy whipping cream
4 ½ ounces Mexican manchego cheese, grated

Steps:

Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and add poblano peppers. Brush peppers with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil.
Roast poblano peppers in the preheated oven for 20 minutes; flip and continue roasting until skin is charred and flesh is soft, about 20 minutes more.
Place roasted peppers in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap; let steam for 10 to 15 minutes. Carefully remove plastic wrap and peel the skins from the peppers and remove seeds and stems. Cut peppers into strips.
Bring a pot of water to a boil; cook corn kernels until soft, about 10 minutes. Drain.
Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and butter in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir onion until soft, 5 to 10 minutes. Add poblano pepper strips and corn; season with chicken bouillon granules and cook for 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in cream and manchego cheese; simmer until cheese melts, about 5 minutes.

CORN CON QUESO

I'm not a fan of Emeril's, but I have to say he sometimes has good recipes! This was from his show and it's a fabulous dip for veggies or sturdy crackers or whatever. I make it frequently, it's a great dish to bring if you don't want to bring something that someone else might be bringing, adding more or less heat for individual tastes.

Season to taste. This recipe calls for a simple blend of salt, pepper, and chili powder. However, you can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or cumin.
Serve immediately. Corn con queso is best served immediately, while it is still warm and bubbly. You can serve it with tortilla chips, bread, or vegetables.
