When we were kids, we were always confusing "Bolognese" with "bologna." (We were strange children.) No phony bologna sandwiches-with-names here… ground beef, cheese, tomato, and rich marinara fill these peppers with a combination of flavor that can't be beat. And gooey mozzarella on top. This meal has only one name: delicious.

1 Start the Peppers
Stem peppers, halve lengthwise, and remove seeds and ribs.
Place pepper halves on prepared baking sheet and top with 1 tsp. olive oil and a pinch of pepper. Massage oil and seasoning into peppers.Flip pepper halves cut-side down. Roast in hot oven until tender, but still crisp, 13-15 minutes.While peppers roast, continue recipe. -
2 Start Filling and Prepare Ingredients
Place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.
Add ground beef, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper to hot pan. Stir occasionally, breaking up meat, until no pink remains and beef reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 4-6 minutes.While beef cooks, core tomato and cut into 1/2" dice.Peel and mince shallot. -
3 Finish the Filling
Add tomato and shallot to hot pan. Stir occasionally until browned, 3-4 minutes.
Stir in marinara, softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup water, garlic salt, and 1/4 tsp. salt. Bring to a simmer.Once simmering, stir often until creamy and slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes.Remove from burner. -
4 Finish the Peppers
Remove baking sheet from oven. Carefully, flip peppers cut side up. Peppers will be hot! Use a utensil. Distribute filling evenly among pepper halves and top with mozzarella and panko. If peppers are too large to fill completely, fill 4 halves and roast 3-4 minutes longer. Remaining pepper is yours to use as you please!
Roast again in hot oven until cheese is lightly browned and bubbly and peppers are fully tender, 9-11 minutes. -
