DELICIOUS STUFFED BANANA PEPPERS
Spicy meets sweet and creamy in these stuffed banana peppers. Makes a great snack or an appetizer for a party. Great for large groups as you can easily control the amount of spiciness. This is one of my favorites!

Steps:
- Soak toothpicks in water for 15 minutes.
- Combine cream cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and cilantro in a large bowl. Mix well.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Cut a slit lengthwise through each pepper without slicing it in half. Cut another slit about 1/4 inch from the stem across the previous slit, forming a 'T'. Remove seeds, as desired, using a paring knife.
- Fill each pepper with the cream cheese stuffing mixture using a small spoon. Wrap each pepper with a slice of raw bacon. Slide 1 toothpick through the center of each pepper to hold onto the bacon and keep pepper closed.
- Grill stuffed peppers for 15 minutes. Turn and cook until bacon is crisp, about 10 minutes more.

~ CASS'S STUFFED BANANA PEPPERS ~
After all of the food I made for the holiday, we didn't want a big dinner tonight, so I decided to use up some banana peppers I had in the refrigerator and this is what I created, and they turned out just awesome! They're quite filling. I served one per person and everyone was quite satisfied. I'm guessing that sausage would be great in these as well. I'll be trying that next, but my family loved them just as they are. Enjoy!

Steps:
- In a small skillet, saute onion, jalapeño and ground beef, until beef is no longer pink, breaking beef apart as it cooks. Drain and cool. In a medium bowl, mix tomato, cream cheese and cheddar together, stir in seasoning. Once beef mixture is cool, blend it into cheese mixture. Make sure everything is well combined. Set aside.
- Wash peppers and dry. Starting right below the stem of pepper, cut a slit lengthwise, but not completely through the other side of pepper. Carefully remove the seeds. (Should wear gloves when handling peppers) I didn't this time and am paying for it..lol! Preheat broiler and move rack about 5 inches below flame.
- I use my fingers to evenly stuff each pepper. It doesn't matter if they don't completely close around the stuffing. Wrap each pepper with 2 slices of bacon, securing with toothpicks.
- Place peppers on a broiling pan, slit side up & drip pan beneath to catch bacon grease. Broil for 11 min on that side, then carefully turn to other side and broil another 11 minutes, pepper should be browning some and bacon crisping.
- Turn one more time and broil 5 - 6 more minutes or until bacon is desired browness.
- Remove from oven and let set up a few minutes. Plate and remove picks then dig in, so, so good!
