Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut the ends off the mini bell peppers and then cut lengthwise. Removed seeds and ribs. Place peppers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. arrange the peppers in a single layer, cut side up. Bake for 5 minutes. Top peppers with cooked ground beef and cheese.
