Stuffed Hot Peppers

[Dinghy]

I just wondered if anybody else has ever had stuffed Hungarian peppers? I had never heard of them until my brother told me he ate them at an Italian restaurant that he frequents. They sounded really good, but I had never seen them on any menu. As luck would have it, we ate at a restaurant in town a couple months later, and they had them! I made them myself tonight and they are soooo good. I slit the peppers down one side and took the seeds out. Then I stuffed them with hot sausage that I had canned for y2k and never used. I covered them with spaghetti sauce and put some Motzerella cheese on top. Covered the pan with foil and baked for an hour. I could really pig out on these! I think I'm going to have to plant some of those peppers this summer! Our store has ground turkey on sale for .50 a pound and I'm going to try to make my own hot sausage out of it. That way it would be a pretty cheap meal!

I stuff hot peppers with sauerkraut and can them....Very good indeed.

That sounds really good too. I'll have to give it a try. My daughter makes her sauerkraut with some hot pepper rings thrown in, and that's really good. I would never have thought of stuffing whole ones. Boy, the things I learn on here!!!! By the way, how do you can them so they don't get mushy? I canned just the peppers in vinegar this year, so would you do them the same way?

Dinghy what kind of peppers did you use? Hot banana peppers?

Those are the ones, I think they're called Hungarian in the store.
