Instructions

Arrange a rack in center of oven; preheat to 400°. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Cook onion, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 7 minutes. Stir in garlic and tomato paste and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Add ground beef and cook, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 6 minutes.

Stir in rice and diced tomatoes; season with oregano, salt, and pepper. Let simmer, stirring occasionally, until liquid has reduced slightly, about 5 minutes.

Arrange peppers cut side up in a 13" x 9" baking dish and drizzle with oil. Spoon beef mixture into each pepper. Cover baking dish with foil.
