Stuffed Banana Peppers

To say that this years banana pepper crop is prevalent would definitely be an understatement. I've been picking for a month now and they don't seem to end, but no complaints here. Pickling them is the main reason we plant them. My husband loves them on almost anything and I love having them all year long, but I also like to try different ways to make them as well. Last night I took a mix of a couple stuffed pepper recipes I found on Pintrest (Oh how I love Pintrest) and came up with something pretty great.


Stuffed Banana Peppers

10-12 lg banana peppers sliced in half and seeded
1 pkg cream cheese (room temp)
1 cup shredded chicken
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
6-8 slices of bacon, cooked and chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning

In a bowl combine all ingredients (except the peppers of course) and mix well. stuff peppers with mixture and insert a tooth pick through the middle to hold them( they need a little structure when they're on the grill). Grill on medium for 6-8 minutes or till warm, melty, charred, and delicious.
