Stuffed Hot Banana Peppers
Ingredients:
1 lb. lean ground beef or lamb
1/2 cup cooked rice
1 Tbs. allspice
1 Tbs. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
12-15 hot peppers
1 clove garlic, diced or crushed
1 Tbs. oregano
3-4 cups tomato sauce
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a mixing bowl, blend thoroughly meat, rice, allspice, cinammon, salt and pepper.
Cut the top from each banana pepper and place a toothpick hole on the ends to allow air to escape while stuffing. With a scooping tool or peeler/scoop tool, hollow out seeds from each pepper with a circular motion and discard.
Stuff each pepper fully and place in an appropriate baking dish, side to side. (You can also stuff with cheese).
Pour tomato sauce evenly over the entire dish. Place crushed garlic throughout sauce and top with oregano. Cover with foil and bake for one hour.
To microwave, cover with plastic wrap and bake on medium-high heat for 20-25 minutes.
Serves 4.
