I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my stuffed banana peppers turned out bland and watery. I think I might have overcooked the peppers.

These stuffed banana peppers were a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think next time I'll use a milder pepper.

I was hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of bell peppers, but I'm so glad I did! The peppers were perfectly cooked and the filling was flavorful and cheesy. I will definitely be making these again.
