Creamy and cheesy stuffed banana peppers are a delicious appetizer or side dish. They are stuffed with a three cheese blend and can be made with either sweet or hot banana peppers depending on your preference.
Stuffed banana peppers are something that I've eaten my entire life. These are a popular garden pepper grown in our area, so we always had them in the summers. Also, in the western New York region, stuffed banana peppers are often on the menu at pizzerias, Italian restaurants, pubs/bars, etc. Those are generally stuffed with meat and have more of an Italian flavor profile.
Two of my other favorite ways to enjoy banana peppers are in the (Un)Stuffed Banana Pepper Soup and in this (Un)Stuffed Banana Pepper Macaroni and Cheese. They also make terrific pickles and are great on pizzas.

This stuffed banana pepper recipe uses a three-cheese blend of cream cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, and mozzarella. The cream cheese provides the soft and creamy base. Then the sharp cheddar adds flavor and the mozzarella add that nice cheesy pull. I season these simply with a little salt, parsley, and garlic.
Then the peppers are halved, stuffed, and baked - followed by a quick broil - and they are all cheesy and delicious! We like to have them as an appetizer or side dish with things like pizza or a large summer salad.
This year we are growing sweet banana peppers in our garden. This recipe uses sweet peppers, but you can use hot as well (or make a batch of each - just don't mix up which pan has the hot and which one has the sweet peppers). My husband and I do enjoy the hot ones, but with little kids we use the sweet more often.

You can change the cheese in these peppers. I like the combination of sharp cheddar and mozzarella for both the flavor and the gooey-ness. Jack cheese or Parmesan would also be good.
Pepper sizes will vary due to how large they are. I find this amount of filling works well for 4 medium to large banana peppers.
