Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Pour 1 can tomato sauce into the bottom of a 9x9 inch baking dish.
Cut off tops of bell peppers; remove seeds and membranes from the insides; rinse. If necessary, cut a thin slice from the bottoms of peppers so that they stand upright; set aside.
Brown ground beef and onion in a large skillet on medium-high heat. Discard excess fat. Add rice, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper; stir.
Stuff peppers with beef/onion mixture; place upright in the baking dish. Pour remaining can tomato sauce over stuffed peppers. Cover tightly with foil.
Bake 35 - 45 minutes or until peppers are tender. Remove foil. Sprinkle stuffed peppers with cheese. Bake 5 minutes longer or until cheese has melted.
Cut peppers in halves. Spoon the sauce over the peppers.
Serve.
