Meanwhile, cut top off peppers 1 inch from the stem end, and remove seeds.

Drain, set aside to cool. 2.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Heat 4 tbsp of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, and cook, stirring often, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat, add meat, rice, tomatoes, and oregano, and season generously with salt and pepper. Mix well. 3.  Drizzle remaining 1 tbsp. Oil inside peppers, arrange cut side up in a baking dish, then stuff peppers with filling. Combine ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, and 1/4 cup of water in a small bowl, then spoon over filling. Add 1/4 cup of water to the baking dish. Place in oven and bake for 40-50 minutes (or longer, depending on how big the peppers are that you are stuffing), until the internal temperature of the stuffed pepper is 150-160°F. 4.  *Remove from oven 10 minutes before finished baking.  Melt your Miss Bonnie's Pimento or Jalapeño Pepper Cheese in a small glass dish in the microwave.  Using a large serving spoon, top the Bell Peppers with Miss Bonnie's Cheese.  Sprinkle seasoned bread crumbs over cheese.  Place Bell Peppers back in oven for 10 minutes or until cheese begins to brown.
