Stuffed Hot Banana Peppers instructions
- Cook your sausage. Drain grease and set aside..
- Cut tops off of Banana peppers. With a small knife cut down about almost the length of the pepper. (don't slice all the way through pepper) Remove seeds. Place peppers in a deep pan or skillet with a lid in about an inch of water. You will steam the peppers on low heat till they are fork tender or "El dente" about 10-15 minutes. Turn peppers often. Dont let them over cook on one side..
- Remove peppers from pan and let cool..
- In a large mixing bowl add your cooked sausage, ricotta cheese, chopped fresh basil and 1 bag shredded mozzarella cheese. Mix until blended..
- Coat a large casserole pan with your jar of marinara. (I like a sweeter sauce so I mix in about 3-4 tablespoons of sugar to take away the bitter of the sauce) Set aside..
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Stuff each pepper with stuffing mixture and then lay atop marinara in your casserole pan..
- Top stuffed peppers with the remaining package of mozzarella cheese.
