Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
  2. Cut each bell pepper in half lengthwise and remove seeds and stems. Brush with olive oil and grill cut-side down for 5-10 minutes until softened and marked.
  3. In a skillet, cook chopped onion and ground beef over medium heat for 8-10 minutes until browned.
  4. Stir in cooked rice, tomato sauce, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Heat through for 2-3 minutes and mix in ¾ cup of cheese until melted.
  5. Stuff the grilled pepper halves with the beef mixture, packing securely and heaping lightly on top.
  6. Return stuffed peppers to the grill and cook for 20 minutes or until heated through and slightly charred. Add remaining cheese in the last few minutes to melt.
  7. Remove from grill and let sit for a couple of minutes before serving hot with favorite sides.
