Jackie's Stuffed Hot Banana Peppers image

A spicy mix of Italian cheeses and meats with sauce and Italian bread! So good! My friends beg me to make these peppers. You may need more or less peppers, depending on their size. I grow my own and they are average size. They freeze well, too!

I'm not a fan of cream cheese, so I used a different type of cheese in the filling. It turned out great!

I had a hard time finding hot banana peppers at my local grocery store. I ended up using regular banana peppers and they were still delicious.
