Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place the bell pepper halves in a roasting dish face down for 10–15 minutes.
While the bell peppers cook, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the onions in oil, adding sea salt and pepper to taste, until they’re translucent and slightly browned on the edges. Add the tomatoes and garlic, and simmer for two minutes.Add the meat and cook until fully done. Mix in the chopped basil.
Remove the slightly softened peppers from the oven and flip them over. Spoon the stuffing mixture into each one. Eat them now or put them back in the oven for 5–10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
