Instructions

Cook the onion and garlic in olive oil or bacon drippings. Cook and crumble the sausage in the same pan. Add the cauliflower, cook briefly. Season to taste.
Mix in 2 tablespoons of the tomato sauce, most of the cheese (optional), and the egg.
While the filling is cooking, trim the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds and any gunk inside.
Fill the peppers with the mixture.
Mix the remaining tomato sauce with the artificial sweetener, vinegar, and if you wish, some allspice or herbs or Creole seasoning.
Put the peppers into the baking dish and spoon the sauce over the tops. Top with remaining grated cheese, if desired.
Cover the peppers with plastic wrap and microwave on high for ten minutes, or bake them, uncovered, in a 350-degree oven until the peppers are softened.
