Remove the stems and seeds from the bell peppers; set them aside. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium low heat. Add the onions, celery, parsley, and garlic.

Spoon the stuffing into the prepared bell peppers and place them in a shallow baking dish. Bake in a preheated 350\u00b0 oven for 30 minutes or until the bell peppers are tender. Spoon tomato sauce or tomatoes over each stuffed pepper and sprinkle with shredded cheese; bake 8 to 10 minutes longer.
