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 wooden 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, oregano and red pepper flakes, and cook for 1 minute.
Add the crushed tomatoes and brown rice, and simmer the mixture for 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat and stir in the kalamata olives 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 2 teaspoons of feta cheese over each pepper. Bake for an additional 5 minutes. Serve.
