1. Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the pepper halves cut side up in a baking dish just large enough to hold them, and add a splash of water to the bottom of the dish.

2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, cooked rice, chopped onion, egg, salt and half of the salsa. Mix with your hands until evenly blended.

3. Divide the beef mixture among the pepper halves, mounding it so each half is well filled.

4. Spoon the remaining salsa over the filling and peppers.

5. Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes.

6. Uncover and bake for 25 to 30 minutes more, until the peppers are tender and the thickest part of the filling reaches 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer.

7. Let the peppers rest for 5 minutes before serving.
