Simmer peppers in water for 8 minutes or cook hollow side down on a baking sheet 20-30 minutes or until slightly soft.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; saute 5 minutes or until onion is softened. Stir in cumin and cook 2 minutes. Add ground meat - cook  and crumble 5 minutes.

I filled my pepper with a little meat, rice, tomato sauce and sauteed veggies! Watch out for Worcestershire sauce, it has wheat and garlic in it!
