Ingredients
- 10 banana peppers or more as needed, depending on the size
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 ounces beef or steak finely chopped (*)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- salt and pepper to taste
- 4 ounces shredded gouda cheese or use your favorite melty cheese
Instructions
- Heat an oven to 400 degrees.
- Slice the banana peppers in half lengthwise and core them out. Set them onto a large baking sheet.
- Heat the oil in a medium pan and add the chopped steak. Season with garlic, paprika, salt and pepper. Cook about 5 minutes, or until the beef/steak is cooked to your liking.
- Spoon the seasoned beef mixture into the peppers, then top each with shredded cheese.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Alternatively, you can grill the stuffed banana peppers for 15 minutes, or broil them for 6-7 minutes, until the cheeses are nice and melty.
- Remove from heat and set onto serving plates.
- Top with chopped green onion, spicy chili flakes and hot sauce, if desired.
Notes
- Makes 10 half stuffed banana peppers.
- ** About the Beef/Steak. Use any cut of choice, as long as it is chopped finely so that it will easily stuff into each banana pepper. Leftovers are good here, too. I used a bit of flank steak I had leftover, just seasoned it up in the pan. Try it with ground beef or ground turkey, pork or chicken.
