Directions:
Prep time: 25 minutes
Cook time: About 1 hour
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Meanwhile, rub bell peppers with 1 tablespoon oil, then use a grill, broiler, or gas stovetop burner to cook peppers, turning occasionally, until well charred, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and set aside until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes.
While peppers are cooling, in a very large skillet over medium heat, warm 1/2 cup oil. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Add mushrooms, garlic salt, and black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are browned and liquid is almost entirely evaporated, 7 to 10 minutes.
Rub charred skin from bell peppers. Slice off tops and remove seeds. Fill bell peppers with mushroom mixture, top with cheese, and arrange in a baking dish. Replace bell pepper tops and bake until cheese melts, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve with rice. Serves 4.
