Stir the mixture so as to avoid big lumps of meat. Reduce the heat, cover and cook the beef until evenly browned.After 10 minutes add the parsley or the dill and seasonings. Mix it and at the same time remove and discard the seeds of  the bell peppers but keep the tops and use them as a lid. Arrange the peppers in a baking dish with the hollowed sides facing upwards. Spoon an equal amount of the mixture into each pepper. Put the lid back on the peppers and turn them upside down. Stir the remaining stuffing and pour it around the stuffed peppers. Bake it for 40 minutes in the preheated oven at 250^o C and the stuffed peppers are ready!
