Meanwhile warm pasta sauce over medium heat in small saucepan until bubbling; remove from heat and keep warm. 5. Divide beef mixture among pepper halves, packing lightly. Top each with feta and olives. Spoon pasta sauce over all. Tent loosely with foil and bake in 350°F oven for 15 minutes or until hot and topping is browned.
