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:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350°. Spray oven dish with cooking spray and set it aside. Have a small saucepan of boiling water on the stove eye. Split banana peppers in 1/2 and wash and clean out seeds, etc. Dip peppers in boiling water and lower temperature of eye. Cook just until peppers are about 1/2 done. Meanwhile, brown sausage. Add onions and cook until translucent. Add seasoning. Mix well. With tongs remove pepper from water and place in baking dish. Spoon sausage mixture into peppers and cover with shredded cheese. Bake about 10 minutes until completely done. Sprinkle with more cheese and place back in oven for about 1 minute until cheese is melted. NOTE: I have used ground beef instead of sausage, too.
Tips:
- Choose ripe and firm banana peppers for the best results.
- To easily remove the seeds and ribs from the banana peppers, cut them lengthwise and use a spoon to scrape them out.
- If you don't have Italian sausage, you can use ground beef, pork, or turkey instead.
- Be sure to cook the sausage thoroughly before stuffing the banana peppers.
- To prevent the banana peppers from splitting, parboil them for a few minutes before stuffing them.
- Use a variety of cheeses in the stuffing for a more flavorful filling.
- If you like spicy food, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the stuffing.
- Bake the stuffed banana peppers until the peppers are tender and the filling is bubbly.
- Serve the stuffed banana peppers immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
