Notes
- Hungarian wax peppers are hot, and banana peppers are mild, but because the two are so similar in appearance, Hungarian wax peppers are often called hot banana peppers.
- Experiment with a variety of peppers for heat levels, flavor, and color.
- You can also substitute sweet Italian sausage for hot.
- Asiago cheese can be sliced at the deli in your supermarket, or you can buy a block of Asiago cheese and shred or grate to top this dish.
- Try different cheeses such as provolone, Fontina, or mozzarella.
