Instructions:
Preheat Oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the Peppers:
Cut peppers in half and remove seeds/membranes.
(Optional) Blanch in boiling water for 2–3 minutes to soften slightly. Alternatively, rub peppers with a drizzle of olive oil and bake them in the oven for 20 minutes to soften.
Make the Filling:
In a large skillet, cook onion and garlic in a bit of oil until soft.
Add ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess fat.
Stir in mushrooms, chopped peppers, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix in 1/3 of the marinara sauce.
Cook together for 10 to 15 minutes to let flavors blend.
Stuff the Peppers:
Place peppers in a baking dish.
Fill each one with the beef and vegetable mixture.
Top with a spoonful of marinara sauce and sprinkle with cheese.
Bake:
Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Uncover and bake for another 10–15 minutes until peppers are tender and cheese is bubbly.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
