Deliciousness! These babies will go fast, so be prepared to get your fill!

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent.
3. Add the ground beef or sausage to the skillet and cook until fully browned. Season with oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
4. Remove the skillet from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly. Stir in the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses until well combined.
5. Stuff each banana pepper with the meat and cheese mixture, filling them fully but not overstuffing.
6. Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish and pour marinara sauce over the top.
7. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
8. Let the peppers cool slightly before serving.

Serving Suggestions: These stuffed banana peppers pair wonderfully with a fresh green salad, garlic bread, or a side of roasted vegetables. For a heartier meal, consider serving them alongside creamy risotto or spaghetti tossed in olive oil and garlic. A light, crisp white wine or a robust red wine can complement the rich flavors of the peppers, making for a well-rounded and satisfying dining experience.
