I followed this recipe  but tweaked it a bit, to make it my own.

Ingredients:

• 3 cloves of garlic
• basil//rosemary//thyme (like a 1/4 TBSP of each)
• 1 med size tomato
• 1 egg
• 3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
• 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. 

Instructions:

• preheat oven to 350 degrees
• line a baking dish with aluminum foil
• slice and dice your tomatoes, garlic, shallots.
• mix in your diced items with the beef, egg, bread crumbs & seasonings. 
• core out the center of your bell peppers and cut faces into them using a small sharp knife.
• fill them to the top with stuffing and bake them for about an hour.
• * I didn't bake them with the tops on.
