Steps

1

Wash your peppers and slice a slit from the top of the pepper to the bottom. Don't cut of the top or bottom of pepper! Remove the seeds.
2

Brown sausage with galic and black pepper.
3

Crush crackers into fine crumbs. I use a large freezer bag and a rolling pin. Add Parmesan cheese and mix well.
4

When sausage is cooked, drain and mix with cracker mixture. Add melted butter until JUST MOIST!
5

Preheat oven to 375°F. Pour olive oil, coating evenly, the bottom of your baking dish. Stuff the peppers and place them in your baking dish. Drizzle with a little more olive oil and a sprinkle of garlic powder.
6

Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until peppers are nice and tender.
7

Spoon heated tomato sauce over peppers and top with Parmesan cheese. Enjoy! Serve with your favorite pasta or as a delicious appetizer.
