SPICY STUFFED BANANA PEPPERS



Spicy Stuffed Banana Peppers image

Banana peppers can be very tricky: Sometimes they are hot and sometimes they are not. If you want to be on the safe side, I recommend using Bianca peppers instead, which are a more sweet type of pepper. -Danielle Lee, Sewickley, Pennsylvania

SPICY MUSHROOM-STUFFED BANANA PEPPERS



Spicy Mushroom-Stuffed Banana Peppers image

The garden overflows with peppers so I made up this recipe. We enjoyed it, and I hope you do too. Another variation would be to leave the peppers whole just cut off the top, scoop out the seeds & membrane, mix the cheese in with the other stuffing ingredients and stuff the peppers from the top. Bake time would be approximately the same. Serve as an appetizer or a side dish As you can see by the photo, you may substitute small colored bell peppers, anaheim or any other surplus garden pepper you may have, yes even jalapenos!

  • Prepare the peppers properly: Before stuffing the peppers, make sure to remove the stems and seeds. To do this, carefully cut off the top of each pepper and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and ribs.
  • Use quality ingredients: The filling for these stuffed peppers is made with a variety of ingredients, so it's important to use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Use fresh mushrooms, onions, garlic, and herbs.
