Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Start by preparing your peppers. While wearing disposable gloves, cut tops of the peppers and remove any large pieces of the Inside rib. There will be small bunches of seeds inside. If you like a lot of heat, leave them. If you prefer a more mild pepper, remove the seeds.
- Divide the ground sausage into 8 separate, equal portions and stuff one portion into each pepper. It's okay if the sausage is exposed and doesn't completely fill the contents of the pepper.
- In a baking dish, take half of the tomato sauce and spread it along the bottom of the baking dish. Add the water and mix it together with a spoon or whisk.
- In a single layer, lay each pepper in the sauce in the dish.
- Pour the remaining tomato sauce over the peppers.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and pop it into the pre-heated oven for roughly 40 minutes.
- At 40 minutes, remove the baking dish from the oven and carefully remove the foil. There will be hot steam released. If a knife easily pierces the pepper, they're ready for the next step.
- Top each pepper with mozzarella cheese.
- Turn the oven to broil and put the peppers back in the oven, uncovered.
- Broil until the cheese is golden brown and remove from the oven.
- Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

PEPPERS STUFFED WITH SAUSAGE AND CREAM CHEESE
This easy, cheesy dinner is one of me and my wife's favorites! Depending on the peppers you get, these can have a little zing to them! We liked to prepare spaghetti with our favorite pasta sauce as a side dish for these stuffed peppers with cream cheese.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil.
- Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Drop peppers into the boiling water. Turn heat off and let peppers soak until softened a bit, about 5 minutes. Remove peppers and set aside until cool enough to handle.
- Mix sausage and cream cheese thoroughly in a bowl. Fill peppers with sausage mixture and place on the prepared baking sheet. Roll any extra sausage mixture into meatballs and place next to the stuffed peppers. Spoon pasta sauce over peppers and meatballs and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until sausage mixture starts to turn golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), about 35 minutes.

Steps:
- Clean peppers by carefull slicing a T into pepper being careful not to cut the cap off. slice down the length of pepper but leave enough at the bottom so that pepper is not cut to the very end. Remove all seeds. If you don't like your peppers too hot you can soak the cleaned peppers in cold water for and hour and this will lessen the heat of the pepper.
- Brown your sausage with the minced garlic, pepper & parsley.
- While sausage is cooking, crush the Ritz crackers into a fine crumbs. Add parmesan cheese to cracker mix and combine well.
- Remove cooked sausage and chop finely in blender so it appears more like ground sausage. Place ground sausage in bowl. Add crushed Ritz crackers and parmesan cheese and mix well. Add 1-2 Tbsp of melted butter to mix so help make the stuffing moist if it appears to dry but not wet.
- Preheat stove to 375 degrees.
- Spoon stuffing into peppers. Fill generously from top to bottom of pepper.
- Depending what type of dish or dishes you use to bake the peppers, I ususally use 2 casserole dishes and pour the olive oil into the bottom of the pans so there is about a 1/2 of olive oil in pans. Lay peppers in baking dishes. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Pull peppers out and generously spread shredded mozzarella cheese over peppers. Bake for 5-10 minutes so cheese is melted well.
- Cool slightly and serve.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Set out a 9 x 13 inch baking dish and a large mixing bowl.
- Prep the banana peppers by cutting off the stems. Use a small knife to slice down one side of each pepper from top to tip. (You don't want to cut the banana peppers in half, but just create a slit so they're much easier to stuff.) Remove the seeds inside and discard. Make sure to wash your hands well with hot soapy water. Even though banana peppers are usually mild, they may leave oils on your hands that can burn your eyes.
- Next, set a small skillet over medium heat. Add the butter, diced onions, and garlic. Salt and pepper liberally, then sauté to soften for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the Italian sausage, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, and crushed red pepper in the mixing bowl.
- Once the onions and garlic have softened, move to the bowl, and mix the sausage mixture by hand until smooth and even.
- Pour the marinara into the baking dish.
- One at a time, scoop up the sausage mixture with your hands and press it down into the banana peppers. Use your finger to press it all the way to the tip filling the banana pepper entirely. The peppers do not have to be closed along the seam, but they also shouldn't be so stuffed that the pepper could crack.
- Place the stuffed banana peppers in the baking dish. Alternate the directions in which they lay so they fit neatly in the dish. Cover the top of the baking dish tightly with foil. Bake for 55 minutes undisturbed.
- Remove the foil and check that the peppers are very soft. Sprinkle the shredded Italian cheese over the top of the banana peppers and place back in the oven for five minutes to melt.
- Serve warm, with marinara and a sprinkling of chopped parsley

SPICY STUFFED BANANA PEPPERS
Banana peppers can be very tricky: Sometimes they are hot and sometimes they are not. If you want to be on the safe side, I recommend using Bianca peppers instead, which are a more sweet type of pepper. -Danielle Lee, Sewickley, Pennsylvania

A spicy mix of Italian cheeses and meats with sauce and Italian bread! So good! My friends beg me to make these peppers. You may need more or less peppers, depending on their size. I grow my own and they are average size. They freeze well, too!
