A famous doctor in the soda field once asked us all, “Wouldn't you like to be a Pepper, too?" We wouldn't want to be a pepper, too short a lifespan, but we do love the way these roasted poblanos taste in this casserole. We also wouldn't want to be an ear of corn, but we gobbled up the scrumptious corn salsa that tops the casserole. Face it, we wouldn't want to be any food item; the only thing we want to be is you sitting down to this delicious meal.
