  • remove and discard the tops, seeds, and membranes of the green, red, and yellow bell peppers. arrange peppers in a baking dish with the hollowed sides facing upward. slice the bottoms off the peppers if necessary so that they stand upright.
  • mix the browned beef, cooked rice, 1 can tomato sauce, worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in a bowl. spoon an equal amount of the mixture into each hollowed pepper. mix the remaining tomato sauce and italian seasoning in a bowl, and pour over the stuffed peppers.
  • bake in the preheated oven, basting with sauce every 15 minutes, until the peppers are tender, about 1 hour. sprinkle the peppers with grated parmesan cheese after baking.
