Preheat oven to 375F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add peppers and pepper tops and cook until tender, 6 to 7 minutes.

Make filling: Warm olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 4 minutes.
Add carrot, celery and garlic and continue cooking until vegetables are just softened, 4 minutes longer.
Add beef, salt and pepper and cook, breaking up large chunks, until meat is no longer pink, about 7 minutes.
Add tomatoes and rice and cook 5 minutes longer. Stir in 3/4 cup cheese.
Fill peppers with meat mixture, dividing evenly.
Sprinkle mixture with remaining cheese and top with pepper lid.
Bake until cheese is melted and peppers are heated through, about 5 minutes.
