  In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until they are fragrant and translucent.

  Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, and cook until fully browned; drain any excess fat from the pan.

• 4

  Stir in the cooked brown rice, half of the tomato sauce, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper, then simmer for 2 minutes to meld flavors.

• 5

  Place the bell peppers upright in a baking dish and spoon the beef and rice mixture into each pepper until they are tightly packed.

• 6

  Spread the remaining tomato sauce over the top of the filling in each pepper.

• 7

  Pour 1/4 cup of water into the bottom of the baking dish, cover tightly with foil, and bake for 30 minutes.

  Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the peppers are tender and the tops are slightly golden.
