1 Roast the Green Bell Peppers
Stem green bell peppers, halve lengthwise, and remove seeds and ribs. Place green bell pepper halves on prepared baking sheet and top with 1 tsp. olive oil and a pinch of pepper. Massage oil and seasoning into peppers. Place pepper halves cut-side down. Roast in hot oven until tender but still crisp, 13-15 minutes. While green bell pepper roasts, prepare ingredients.
-
2 Prepare Ingredients and Cook Ground Beef
Core tomato and cut into ½" dice Peel and mince shallot. Heat 2 tsp. olive oil in a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, ¼ 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.
-
3 Make the Filling
Add tomato and shallot to hot pan. Stir occasionally until lightly brown, 3-4 minutes. Stir in marinara, cream cheese, ¼ cup water, garlic salt, and ¼ tsp. salt. Bring to a simmer. Once simmering, stir often until creamy and mixture has reduced slightly, 2-3 minutes. Remove from burner.

4 Finish the Peppers
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. Roast again until cheese is lightly browned and bubbly and peppers are fully tender, 9-11 minutes.
