Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Slice the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Add diced onion and garlic; sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Add ground beef to the skillet; cook until browned, breaking it apart, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in sliced mushrooms, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning; cook until mushrooms are tender, about 3-4 minutes.

Remove from heat and mix in cheese until melted and combined.

Fill each bell pepper with the cheesesteak mixture, pressing down gently.

Place stuffed peppers upright in a baking dish and sprinkle with bread crumbs on top.

Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes.

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until peppers are tender and tops are golden.

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
