I've been making this since it first appeared in the Times in 1988. I've used a variety of cheeses over the years as well as canned or fresh peppers - whatever I could get at the time. I love it.

Soggy, greasy - not worth the time or ingredients. I cooked it for 45 minutes in a 10" square.

OMG Pearson's, what a place. Memories of his spot in the old LIC, when it was still a quiet, low-rise neighborhood. I can't believe I found the recipe for his cornbread!
