Adjust mixture with additional cheese and bread crumbs if too dry or moist - medium moisture for stuffing desired. Make a radial slice around the top of the banana pepper leaving the top intact. Pull back top and remove seeds if so desired. Gently stuff mixture into peppers. Place olive oil in hot saute pan. Gently place peppers in the pan and fry each side until browned. Place marinara sauce in middle of plate. Arrange peppers on top of marinara and grate the dry ricotta cheese on top of the hot peppers.

Steps:

• Mix together the feta , mozzarella and parmesan cheese. add the mayonnaise, basil, sun dried tomatoes and salt and pepper to season, mix well.
• Cut the tops off the banana peppers, (reserving the tops) and scoop out the seeds, being careful not to split open the sides.
• Using a tsp and your finger ( this part can get quite messy ) stuff the peppers with the cheese mixture.
• In a 8 x 8 baking dish spread the marinara sauce onto the bottom.
• Put the peppers on top of the sauce, replacing their tops, wedging the peppers against the sides ( in the hope that the tops stay in place keeping the stuffing inside ).
• If you have any excess stuffing mix, spread over the tops of the peppers.
• Bake in a 350* oven for 30 minutes.

HOT STUFFED BANANA PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• USE RUBBER GLOVES when handling the banana peppers! I usually use disposal latex gloves since i have to go back and forth between the sausage and the peppers. Cut the tops and bases off the peppers essentially making a tube.
• Place the peppers on a large baking sheet(with sides) in the oven with apprx 1/4 c of olive oil. I usually spread the oil on the sheet adn roll the peppers in it. Allow them to soften an blister slightly apprx 15 minutes Turn once during cooking.
• While they are cooking, I put the hot sausage in a large frying pan and cook apprx 3/4 way done(rest will get done in oven as you don't want to dry it out too much). Let cool and crumble.
• Remove peppers from oven and allow to cool slightly. Turn oven down to 350.
• While the peppers are cooling, in a large mixing bowl add the egg, cooled crumbled sausage, garlic, pepper, breadcrumbs and cheese. Mix with hands.
• Take the peppers cut lengthwise down middle. Remove the ribs and seeds with paring knife.
• Place in apprx 4 tbsp of olive oil in 9x13 casserole dish with apprx 4 tbsp of sausage mixture each. Line up side by side until all are in pan. Top with apprx 1 c shredded mozzarella mixed with shredded(not grated) parm or romano cheeses. You can also cover with sausage spaghetti sauce if you wish. I like just the plain rolls.
• Bake covered for apprx 20 mins or until cheese bubbly.
