Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice off the tops of the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes.
  2. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced yellow onion and diced mushrooms, sauté for about 5 minutes until softened. Add the ground beef and brown thoroughly for about 5-7 minutes, then stir in Worcestershire sauce, crushed tomatoes, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Stuff each hollowed bell pepper with the savory ground beef filling, pressing down lightly. Arrange the stuffed peppers upright in a baking dish.
  4. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil, sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top, and return to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  5. Carefully remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve hot.
