In a skillet, over medium-high heat, brown the spicy ground sausage until it's cooked though. Drain and set aside until cooled down enough for you to handle with your hands.
While the sausage is cooling, prepare the peppers by slicing them in half length wise. Remove and discard the seeds and set peppers aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, cooked sausage, oregano, and onion powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Evenly spread 1 cup of pasta sauce in an oven safe baking dish.
Begin stuffing the bell peppers with a generous amount of the sausage and cheese mixture using a spoon. As you stuff the peppers, place them in the tomato sauce in a single layer. It's ok if they are close together. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the stuffed peppers
Bake peppers in a 400 degree oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is browned and the filling is warmed through. Serve warm. If desired, garnish with additional freshly cracked black pepper.
Notes
Want the filling a little spicier? Add 1 -2 teaspoons of red pepper flakes to the cheese mixture.
