Dr. Oz is a medical doctor who has a TV show who knows how to make a good stuffed bell pepper. I found this recipe at this blog, but added a few changes to it. This whole meal will also cost you less then $15 and all the ingredients are easy to find. It's another way to impress someone with making awesome food that doesn't take that much time.
Cut the bell peppers sideways so there is a larger filling-to-pepper ratio, but either will turn out amazing. The chili powder and cumin give the meal a great Southwestern flavor that's wonderful with a little avocado and sour cream on top. Also to make things easy you can just toss a taco seasoning packet in with the ground beef and cook it on the skillet with onions/garlic.
