While peppers are cooking, brown beef, onion, and garlic in a medium saucepan until no pink remains. Drain fat.
Add instant rice, Italian seasoning, water, and 1 cup pasta sauce. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 3-4 minutes.
Scoop the mixture into the peppers and top with remaining sauce. Turn air fryer up to 350°F and cook 8-10 minutes or until heated through and peppers are soft. Top with cheese and cook an additional 1-2 minutes.
