1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Pour the marinara sauce into the base of a medium-size oven-safe skillet.

3. In a medium bowl, mix the beef and cooked rice with the chopped onion, garlic, rice, paprika, oregano, mustard, parsley, salt and pepper to combine.
4. Stuff the meat mixture into each pepper, filling almost to the rim. Transfer the peppers to the prepared skillet, standing them on top of the sauce.
5. Garnish each pepper with 1½ tablespoons cheese. Bake until the peppers are tender, and the meat is fully cooked, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve immediately, with a scoop of sauce, a dollop (1 tbsp) of sour cream and a 2 slices of avocado.
