<\/div>\n

### Instructions:<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

1. **Prepare the Peppers**:
\n\u2013 Preheat the oven to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C).
\n\u2013 Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes.
\n\u2013 If needed, trim the bottom of the peppers slightly to ensure they stand upright. Set aside.<\/p>\n

2. **Cook the Filling**:
\n\u2013 In a large skillet, heat a bit of olive oil over medium heat.
\n\u2013 Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
\n\u2013 Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
\n\u2013 Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon.
\n\u2013 Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, cooked rice, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
\n\u2013 Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.<\/p>\n

3. **Stuff the Peppers**:
\n\u2013 Place the bell peppers in a baking dish.
\n\u2013 Spoon the meat and rice mixture into each pepper, packing it in tightly.
\n\u2013 Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of each stuffed pepper.<\/p>\n

4. **Bake**:
\n\u2013 Add a little water to the bottom of the baking dish (about 1\/4 inch) to help steam the peppers.
\n\u2013 Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
\n\u2013 Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.<\/p>\n

5. **Serve**:
\n\u2013 Let the peppers cool slightly before serving.
\n\u2013 Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.<\/p>\n
