Directions
Sausage Stuffed Banana Peppers, I have been making this recipe for 2 years now and everyone I make if for loves it and always request seconds The stuffing in this recipe can also be used quite nicely in stuffed mushrooms as well , Ive been making theses for 5 years now The only change that I makes is to cover them in marinara before baking and add more shredded mozzarella toward the end, This recipe sounds great! Although I haven’t made this yet (but will be in near future) I love ricotta cheese and was wondering if it could be incorporated into this recipe and if so what change is needed or can I just add it in?

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. |

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. |

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. |
