Cheesy Stuffed Banana Peppers

INGREDIENTS

1 cup shredded mozzarella
1 cup crumbled feta
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
10 - 12 banana peppers
1 (739 mL) jar pasta sauce

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Mix the three cheeses in a medium-sized bowl.

Prepare the peppers by cutting off tops and carefully scraping out the seeds with a knife (try not to poke holes in the peppers).

Stuff each pepper with the cheese mixture, using the end of a spoon or your finger to pack the cheeses tightly.

Pour a small amount of the sauce into a 9" x 9" baking dish, coating the bottom. Arrange the stuffed peppers into a single layer in the bottom of the dish.

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. Pour the remaining spaghetti sauce on top of the peppers, covering them completely.

Bake, covered, for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the peppers are soft and the sauce is nice and bubbly. Serve with spaghetti or other pasta.
