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!

Stuffed Banana peppers
Ingredients
- 2 cups of grated parmesan cheese {any kind your taste buds prefer}
- 1 Cup of Bread crumbs
- 1 cup of Blue cheese
- 1 cup of extra virgin olive oil
- 3 T garlic minced
- 1 T Crushed red pepper {optional}
- Provolone
Instructions
- 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!
They sound and look yummy, sounds like you had a great weekend!
What type of grated cheese do you use??
You can use pecorino romano, or just italian. Whatever your taste buds would like:)
How many banana peppers does the recipe call for?
This recipe made about 10 peppers.
We 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
My husband loves banana peppers. Will definitely be trying these!
OMG!! They look so good…making my mouth water lol!!
Those 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
Curious ……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!
They probably are a regional thing I am betting.
Those sound so yummy Debbie!! Thanks for the fantastic recipe and thank your mother-in-law too! 🙂

They 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.
Wowwww! 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!
Oh Yummy! I love banana peppers – putting this on my list asap!
Oh my Debbie…they look so good!…Tell your mother-in-law thanks for the recipe!…Glad you had a great time at the Biltmore..love that place!
My mouth is watering, literally! I can’t wait to try these!
thank Donna they are the best i ever had in my life love love love
I 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!
You 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.
It’s just topped with provolone. I will go add that in the ingredients. Thanks. The blue cheese is in the filling as noted.
It 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!
Buffalo is awesome for their food, miss that so much!!
We’ve made these twice already. My husband loves them. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
I am due to make them soon. Been craving them. So glad you enjoyed the recipe.
I 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
Sure why not! I think you can substitute any cheese to your liking.
These sound great, and I’m thinking of making them to take on a camping trip. What kind of bread crumbs are used, the dried crumbs found in a can, or actual bread? Thanks very much.
Breadcrumbs in the can:) Enjoy.
You can replace bleu cheese with Gorgonzola! Mouth watering!!
Do you use crumbly blue cheese or creamy blue?
Crumble blue cheese
Thank you
You are welcome!
If I only have wet blue cheese and not crumbled is that ok or should I not use?
The crumbled is better because it helps with the breadcrumbs staying together.
we live in Pittsburgh area and we stuff them with pork sausage and top with provolone/mozzarella and bake them. These look so yummy
They really are a party hit!!
I don’t like blue cheese or goat cheese; what other cheese can I substitute? Suggestions?
Hi Susan, I can’t answer that..never had nor made them any other way. I’m sorry.
how about ranch dressing instead of blue cheese?
Not sure, never tried it that way. You can certainly try it and let me know.
Just 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.
Yes, Sue, I know the area well. Nice to meet you.
I followed the recipe but found they were delish except for the amount of olive oil. They were swimming in it, are you sure you need that much olive oil?
These are incredible, my blue cheese hating friends love them too!
Thanks Jody! Yes indeed they really are amazing. Thanks for stopping by.
