When the veggies are almost fully cooked add ground beef back to the mixture. Add any seasoning now that you would like into the mixture. Remove from heat and stir in mozzarella cheese.
  3. Choose a shallow pan that will hold all whole peppers. Add water to the dish to just cover the base of the peppers. Heat in the microwave for 1 minute. - times may vary - you are looking for the peppers to be softer but not collapsed or mushy. Cut each pepper in half from top to bottom - remove seeds and core.
