Three Cheese Stuffed Banana Peppers

Total Time: 55 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 40 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 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)

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• 2 mix the three cheeses in a medium-sized bowl.
• 3 prepare the peppers by cutting off tops and carefully scraping out the seeds with a knife (try not to poke holes in the peppers).
• 4 stuff each pepper with the cheese mixture, using the end of a spoon or your finger to pack the cheeses tightly.
• 5 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.
• 6 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).
• 7 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.
• 8 pour the remaining spaghetti sauce on top of the peppers, covering them completely.
• 9 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).
• 10 serve with spaghetti or other pasta.
• 11 note: measurements for the cheeses are approximate; you may adjust the amounts and types of cheeses to your own taste.
