STUFFED HOT PEPPERS

I use Anaheim Chillis or Hot Banana Peppers for this recipe, but you can use any pepper of your choice. Be very careful when seeding the peppers. It is important to wear gloves and not touch your face. If you do get pepper burn on your skin, rub olive oil on the affected area. I make these to freeze.
