Cut the peppers in half and place on a baking sheet. Remove the seeds and stems, drizzle with half of the oil, and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Roast at 375 degrees for 25 minutes.
Sauté the onions and garlic in a large skillet over medium heat with the rest of the oil until fragrant.
Add ground beef to the onion mixture. Sprinkle over cumin and the remaining salt, and stir. Brown the meat, cooking through.
Add the rest of the filling ingredients and combine.
Spoon the meat mixture into the roasted peppers, packing them full, then top each pepper with shredded cheese.
Bake an additional 15 minutes at 375 degrees.

Red, yellow, or orange peppers will add a bit more sweetness to the dish.
By shredding your own cheese, you can avoid the fillers and preservatives that are typically in store-bought shredded cheeses.
We like to buy our meat in bulk so we can purchase grass-fed beef at a much better price. Grass-fed beef contains healthy fats.
