Prepare meatloaf mix: Mix ground beef with seasoning, bread crumbs, egg, red pepper flakes and remaining diced peppers until combined.
Stuff each pepper with 2 oz meat mixture leaving a dome of the mixture on top of each pepper.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 45 minutes. Top with cheese and bake for 5 more minutes. Top with fresh parsley and serve.
