THREE CHEESE STUFFED BANANA PEPPERS



Three Cheese Stuffed Banana Peppers image

This is a meat-free stuffed pepper recipe that is great with spaghetti or any other pasta. I use hot banana peppers because they add great flavor and fire to the sauce, but I'm sure mild banana peppers could be substituted for the faint-of-heart!

Provided by HollyJane

Categories     Peppers

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/2-3/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
10 -12 banana peppers (mild may be substituted)
1 (26 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce (homemade is great, too)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Mix the three cheeses in a medium-sized bowl.
  • Prepare the peppers by cutting off tops and carefully scraping out the seeds with a knife (try not to poke holes in the peppers).
  • Stuff each pepper with the cheese mixture, using the end of a spoon or your finger to pack the cheeses tightly.
  • After all the peppers are stuffed, pour a small amount of the sauce into a baking dish (I use a 9"x9" dish), coating the bottom.
  • Arrange the stuffed peppers into a single layer in the bottom of the dish (it's OK to lay a few on top if you run out of room in the dish).
  • If you had any remaining cheese mixture left, you may sprinkle it on top of the peppers now or simply freeze it for next time.
  • Pour the remaining spaghetti sauce on top of the peppers, covering them completely.
  • Bake, covered, for 30-40 minutes, or until peppers are soft and sauce is nice and bubbly (it may take longer if the peppers have thick flesh).
  • Serve with spaghetti or other pasta.
  • NOTE: Measurements for the cheeses are approximate; you may adjust the amounts and types of cheeses to your own taste.

THE BEST DAMNED FRIED BANANA PEPPERS EVER



The Best Damned Fried Banana Peppers Ever image

This recipe comes from my long time friend, Tracy. I really can not believe she shared it with me.....all this time, I thought she cast some magic spell over the frying pan to make them taste so good! Turns out it was just the saltine crackers! The mystery is over...... Do keep in mind, that this is NOT a "batter" recipe (if you love breading, you may want to try something else). The coating is light and crispy and you end up with more coverage on the 'interior' part of the pepper than the exterior. I think they are wonderful this way!
