   Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and chopped onion; cook until beef is browned and onion is softened. Drain excess fat.

3. 3

   Stir in minced garlic, diced tomatoes (undrained), cooked rice, half of the tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

4. 4

   Spoon the beef and rice mixture evenly into the bell pepper halves.

   Pour the remaining tomato sauce around the peppers in the baking dish. Cover the dish loosely with foil.

   Bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil, sprinkle shredded cheese over the stuffed peppers, and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until peppers are tender and cheese is melted and bubbly.
