Stuffed Banana Peppers

Our garden this year has been in overdrive and I found myself with a bunch of hot banana peppers. In trying to figure out what to do, I remembered one of my favorite restaurant dishes of all time. Johnny's Bar in Cleveland is a fantastic Old-School Italian restaurant and one of their signature dishes is stuffed banana peppers. I decided to recreate and cook on the Egg. I started with about a half pound total of ground beef, pork, and turkey. I mixed the meat with breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, Basil, Garlic, an Egg, and Salt and Pepper. I took my banana peppers and cut off the stem and hollowed out the seeds. I then stuffed them with the meat mixture. I set up my Egg Indirect at 350. While it was heating, I heated some oil in my cast iron skillet and put the stuffed peppers in to get some color on them. Once that was done, I added about a cup or so of Marinara Sauce to the pan and then out the whole thing on the Egg. It cooked for about 25-30 minutes and u added more Parmesan on too with about 5 minutes to go. These were really, really good. The peppers softened up as they cooed and all the flavors came together. I will definitely be doing this one again.
