Meanwhile brown the ground beef, garlic, mushrooms, salt, pepper and half the garlic powder; drain the fat. Stir in the spaghetti sauce and adjust the seasonings as needed. Combine the ricotta cheese, egg and 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese in a small bowl; season with salt, pepper and the remaining garlic powder. Divide the ricotta mixture between the pepper halves.

Don't forget to season the inside of the peppers before filling. My peppers still had a little crunch to them so if you like yours softer, you may want to parboil them in salted water for a few minutes before stuffing. Below is a photo showing the inside of a pepper:
