Italian Sausage Stuffed Banana Peppers

Stuffed Banana Peppers Recipe – Tangy banana peppers stuffed with savory Italian sausage and cream cheese, baked, and smothered with marinara and melted cheese. They are gluten-free, low-carb, and utterly delicious!

Bold, slightly sweet banana peppers are most commonly served pickled in the USA. Often we eat them sliced on Italian-inspired dishes including sandwiches, pizza, and salads. Or enjoy them whole for a snack with some kick!

However, banana peppers are also an amazing chile to stuff and bake! They offer a unique tangy flavor with mild spicy heat. Occasionally, you might get the “surprise” hot pepper, but most of the time they can be enjoyed by all.

Here we’ve stuffed long banana peppers with tantalizing Italian sausage and cream cheese mixture, then braised them in marinara sauce until soft and silky.

The baked stuffed peppers are then smothered with more melty cheese, so the dish is ultra comforting and irresistible in flavor.

This classic Italian stuffed pepper recipe is low-carb, and gluten-free, and can also be prepared in a slow cooker! (No need to cook rice or add breadcrumbs.) It’s a terrific dinner that is fun, healthy(ish), and really makes your tastebuds happy.

Ingredients:
  • 10 whole banana peppers look for the straight ones!
  • 1 pound Italian sausage
  • 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
  • 1 small onion peeled and diced
  • 2-3 cloves garlic minced

  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • ¼-½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
