Preheat the oven to 375°F.

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

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Sauté chopped onion and minced garlic until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add ground pork to the skillet and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in cooked rice, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, and cumin; mix well.

Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste.

Fill each bell pepper with the pork and rice mixture, packing it tightly.

Place stuffed peppers upright in a baking dish and sprinkle with cheddar and parmesan cheese.

Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes.

Remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and peppers are tender.

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
