If they are as large as normal banana peppers, you can stuff them with
a mixture of rice and ground beef, much as some people do with bell
peppers. We always make stuffed peppers with banana peppers, and use
about 2/3 mild and 1/3 hot. Serve with yogurt (plain, unflavored) if
you want to preserve your taste buds.

If they're too small to stuff, you can hang them up and dry them. Then use
one instead of paprika, or whenever you want to spice a dish up. 
Use as a spice in Goulash comes to mind (I submitted a recipe to this
effect some time ago).

The other alternative is to fry them in oil and serve them as an appetizer
or side dish/salad. This freezes very well.
