Mexican Pepper Cheese Dip image

Ladies and gents, this is simply to die for! This is the best dip I have made to date and is a consistent favorite at our backyard gatherings! The poblano peppers really add a smoky flavor that compliments the other peppers and cheese. Yes, it is spicy and will put some pep in your step. It doesn't get any better than this!
