Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Cut the peppers in half from top to bottom; remove the stems and seeds.
• In an 8x8-inch baking dish, stir together the drained can of diced tomatoes, the can of tomato sauce, and the sugar (if using). Note: The peppers will shrink down a little during cooking, so it is okay if they are snug in the dish. If needed, you can use a larger baking dish, such as an 11x7-inch.
• Place the pepper halves in the dish on top of the sauce, cut side up. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
• In a medium skillet over medium heat (I use a 10-inch skillet or larger), cook the ground beef and onions until the meat is cooked through and lightly browned and the onions have softened. Drain of any excess grease, and season lightly with salt and pepper.
• Add the cooked rice to the beef mixture along with the undrained can of diced tomatoes, the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, basil, parmesan, and mozzarella cheese; stir until well-combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
• Stuff each of the pepper halves with ¼ of the filling (they will be very full).
• Cover the dish with foil; bake for 45 to 60 minutes or until the peppers are crisp-tender (test by poking them with a knife).
• To serve: place one stuffed pepper on each plate. Stir the sauce in the baking dish to incorporate the liquid released by the peppers during cooking. Spoon some of the sauce around and over the top of each pepper. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and a sprinkle of additional parmesan cheese, if desired.
