Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, salt and pepper, and cook until the ground beef is browned, crumbling with a spoon.
Turn the heat to medium and add the olive oil. Stir in the onions and cook until soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano and tomato paste. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
Add the crushed tomatoes and black beans, bring to a boil, then simmer for 10 minutes.
Remove from the heat, and stir in the cooked quinoa and parsley.
Place the peppers, cut side up, in a large baking dish. Divide the ground beef mixture evenly between the peppers. Pour ½ cup water in the bottom of the baking dish.
Cover tightly with foil and cook until the peppers are tender, about 35 minutes.
Sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly over the peppers. Bake for an additional 5 minutes. Serve.
