Dad’s Stuffed Hot Italian Pepper Recipe

One of our favorite things to have my dad make through the fall and winter seasons is his stuffed hot Italian peppers. It’s the perfect comfort dish to have during football games, family dinners, and through the holiday season. They also reheat well, so you can enjoy them as leftovers!

We hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we have. You can make it your own by adding in ingredients or your favorite cheeses.

What you’ll need

6-8 hot italian peppers
15 oz. Whole Milk Ricotta
Chopped or dry garlic (to taste)
1/2 package of cream cheese
2 cups grated Romano-Pecorino cheese
2 tsp of Anchovy paste (to taste)
2-3 tablespoons of seasoned Italian bread crumbs (or more to taste)
Black pepper
Baking dish
Fresh crusty bread

Instructions

Step 1: Prep banana peppers

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Wash peppers. Cut the tip off with the stem and slice down the center of one side, almost to the tip. Clear out the seeds- consider wearing gloves for this process as seeds can be hot.

Step 2: combine filling

Combine all filling ingredients (ricotta, chopped garlic, cream cheese, grated Romano-Pecorino cheese, anchovy paste, black pepper, bread crumbs) and mix until all blended together.

Step 3: Stuff peppers

Carefully add the mixed filling to the peppers. A piping bag would work well during this process.

Step 4: Bake

Place stuffed peppers into your baking dish. Sprinkle black pepper on top. Drizzle with olive oil, and bake for about 50-60 minutes, until cheese is bubbling and golden brown.

Step 5: Enjoy!

Slice fresh bread and enjoy alongside peppers!

And that’s it!

My dad makes these a lot, they’re especially good around the holidays as an appetizer and travel well if you’d like to bring them over to someone’s house. Surely you will enjoy it, please let me know if you make it. Thanks for reading!
