Categories     Appetizer     Main Course

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 banana peppers
1 lb spicy Italian sausage (ground)
½ cup mozzarella cheese
½ cup tomato sauce
2 tbsp water
salt and pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Start by preparing your peppers. While wearing disposable gloves, cut tops of the peppers and remove any large pieces of the Inside rib. There will be small bunches of seeds inside. If you like a lot of heat, leave them. If you prefer a more mild pepper, remove the seeds.
  • Divide the ground sausage into 8 separate, equal portions and stuff one portion into each pepper. It's okay if the sausage is exposed and doesn't completely fill the contents of the pepper.
  • In a baking dish, take half of the tomato sauce and spread it along the bottom of the baking dish. Add the water and mix it together with a spoon or whisk.
  • In a single layer, lay each pepper in the sauce in the dish.
  • Pour the remaining tomato sauce over the peppers.
  • Cover the baking dish with foil and pop it into the pre-heated oven for roughly 40 minutes.
  • At 40 minutes, remove the baking dish from the oven and carefully remove the foil. There will be hot steam released. If a knife easily pierces the pepper, they're ready for the next step.
  • Top each pepper with mozzarella cheese.
  • Turn the oven to broil and put the peppers back in the oven, uncovered.
  • Broil until the cheese is golden brown and remove from the oven.
  • Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

  • 4. Meat: Heat a skillet with one tablespoon of olive oil. Remove the casings from the sausages and break them up with a spoon and add them to the skillet.

Then add 4 tablespoons fresh basil, 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon sugar, mushrooms, tomatoes, tomato sauce. Cook about five more minutes.

  • 8. Spoon the Sauce over the peppers.
  • 9. Bake the peppers in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes. Top with Italian cheese and return to oven just until the cheese melts. About 5 minutes. Remove from oven. Serve. Enjoy!
  • 10. Cook's Tip: Peppers, Sauce and Meat can all be made ahead for a fast dinner. This recipe makes enough stuffing and sauce for 12, six-inch banana peppers.
