* 1 small white onion, diced fine
* Oregano, Seasoned Pepper and Fennel Seed [optional] to taste
* 1 tomato
* 2 teaspoons of crushed garlic or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
* 2 ounces of fresh Feta cheese, crumbled
* 2 tbsp grated parmesan or romano cheese

Spray casserole dish with PAM. Cook ground beef at low to medium heat, stirring

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Cut off tops of all peppers, remove inner seeds and membranes and wash thoroughly. Fill all
peppers with meat mixture, alternating with a layer of feta and parmesan cheeses. Place peppers into a casserole dish, side by side. Alternatively, you can cut peppers in half
vertically and stuff each half, making serving easier and speeding bake-time.]
Add any remaining mixture around the peppers and sprinkle all remaining feta and parmesan cheeses on top. Add shredded mozzarella cheese if desired for a hint of extra flavor.
Bake at 350°F for approximately 30 minutes or until browned and bubbly as desired.
