Hey there everyone! How you doing? We are unwinding from a fabulous weekend packed full of fun and family.
My in-laws from Buffalo were in and we took them to the Biltmore estates on Saturday. It’s so nice to be close in proximity to take a day trip.
My in-laws love to go, go, go and eat!
We are a foodie family for sure and I am really enjoying sharing some recipes with you. Everything I share is easy, otherwise you would not see it here.
Today, I am sharing How to make stuffed banana peppers.
My mother-in-law works at a pizzeria and this woman can work a kitchen like no other.
This is her recipe and she has been making them for years.
I can tell you for certain, this will be a new staple of appetizer for your parties too.
You can find these banana peppers in your fresh produce aisle.
Every time my in-laws are here visiting we usually host a party.
These stuffed banana peppers are a huge request. 
One thing I want to stress when making these peppers is to be sure to de seed and remove the white membranes inside. Otherwise
you will be singing the song this girl is on FIRE!
Seriously, they would be way too hot. Recipe down below in the recipe box.
Enjoy!

- Mix all of the above ingredients in a large bowl. Using rubber gloves stuff the peppers. Again, DO not forget to de seed and clean out the inside. Top with provolone and Bake at 450 degrees until the cheese is lightly browned, NOT burned. Ovens vary so just be sure to watch but it roughly takes around 20 minutes. Once removed from oven let stand for a few minutes and slice a few to make pieces. These are out of this WORLD!
When de seeding your peppers be sure to wear rubber gloves. The last thing you want to do is rub your eyes afterwords. You will NOT be happy!

Stacy P. says
April 7 at 7:48 pmWhat type of grated cheese do you use??
debbiedoo's says
April 7 at 7:54 pmYou can use pecorino romano, or just italian. Whatever your taste buds would like:)
Jeanette Chedotal says
May 11 at 12:25 amHow many banana peppers does the recipe call for?
debbiedoo's says
May 11 at 9:04 amThis recipe made about 10 peppers.
Judy Acker says
April 7 at 8:03 pmWe grow the banana peppers that are not hot. They have a different taste than a bell pepper. And if you buy the non hot plants you have to remember 1 plant it away from the jalapeño peppers. We live in Tyler Texas

April 7 at 11:59 pmThose sound delicious and LOOK delicious, too, Debbie. Don’t you LOVE the Biltmore? It just fascinates me. We were lucky enough to be there one year when they brought the Christmas tree in! xo Diana

April 8 at 12:11 amCurious ……which pizzeria does your mother-in-law work at? I wonder if stuffed banana peppers are considered to be regional to the Buffalo area. Looking forward to trying to make them!! Thanks!
debbiedoo's says
April 8 at 7:20 amThey probably are a regional thing I am betting.
Vanessa says

April 8 at 8:24 amThey sound wonderful Debbie! I will add this to my recipe file. We love the Biltmore and live about 20 minutes from it. We have plans to head there later this week to see the flowers. One of our favorite places to eat there is at The Inn on Biltmore Estate. The Library is open for lunch and it has the best views.
Heather says
April 8 at 2:19 pmWowwww! These sound amazing! I love stuffed peppers but I’ve never had banana peppers. Yummmo! I love your Biltmore pics! Thanks for sharing it all!

Shannon says
April 14 at 2:19 pmI think all these flavors sound like they’d be great together. I’ve never tried to stuff peppers but I trust you on this one!
Kelly masucci says
April 15 at 8:02 pmYou mention blue cheese in ingredients and not provolone. You say to top with provolone. Is that an error or are both cheeses used in recipe. Thank you.
debbiedoo's says
April 15 at 8:55 pmIt’s just topped with provolone. I will go add that in the ingredients. Thanks. The blue cheese is in the filling as noted.
Melinda says
July 21 at 4:31 pmIt is a regional thing–I am originally from Asheville–transplated to Buffalo; stuffed banana peppers is one of my favorite things about this awesome foodie city!
debbiedoo's says
July 21 at 5:26 pmBuffalo is awesome for their food, miss that so much!!
Laura R. says

debbiedoo's says
August 25 at 7:46 amI am due to make them soon. Been craving them. So glad you enjoyed the recipe.
Andea R says
September 24 at 6:49 pmI love stuffed peppers of all kind. Want to try these as they look relish, however, we are not huge (especially hubby) blue cheese lovers….any other cheese you would recommend switching with? Goat cheese? TIA
debbiedoo's says
September 24 at 7:00 pmSure why not! I think you can substitute any cheese to your liking.
jenny says
October 26 at 11:41 amDo you use crumbly blue cheese or creamy blue?
debbiedoo's says
October 26 at 2:50 pmCrumble blue cheese
jenny says
October 26 at 3:16 pmThank you
debbiedoo's says
October 26 at 6:05 pmYou are welcome!
michele says
October 26 at 5:21 pmwe live in Pittsburgh area and we stuff them with pork sausage and top with provolone/mozzarella and bake them. These look so yummy
debbiedoo's says
October 26 at 6:05 pmThey really are a party hit!!
Susan says
May 13 at 10:55 amI don’t like blue cheese or goat cheese; what other cheese can I substitute? Suggestions?
debbiedoo's says
May 13 at 11:16 amHi Susan, I can’t answer that..never had nor made them any other way. I’m sorry.
Martha says
June 19 at 7:36 pmhow about ranch dressing instead of blue cheese?
debbiedoo's says
June 19 at 8:32 pmNot sure, never tried it that way. You can certainly try it and let me know.
Sue Cravotta says
September 3 at 2:35 pmJust found your recipe for stuffed peppers and when I saw your Mother in law is from Buffalo…I will be making these for Labor Day. My husband and I are in the Boston Hills about 25 mi. from Buffalo.
debbiedoo's says
September 3 at 2:41 pmYes, Sue, I know the area well. Nice to meet you.
