Cut off the top of each pepper, pull out any remaining stem and scrape out the seeds and membranes. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, rice, diced tomatoes, onion, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, 1 cup of Shredded Sharp Cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese.
Stuff each pepper with ground beef mixture.
Pour 1/4 cup of water into bottom of slow cooker and place peppers on top.
Cook peppers on low for 6 hours, or high for 4 hours, until peppers are tender and ground beef is cooked through.
About 15 minutes before peppers are done, sprinkle remaining shredded cheese on top to melt.
