Cook wild rice according to package instructions.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut off the tops of the bell peppers and remove the seeds. Set aside.
In a large skillet set over medium heat, saute the onion and garlic, until softened (about 3-4 minutes). Add the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks, until browned and fully cooked (about 6-8 minutes). Drain excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes. Then, mix in the cooked wild rice. Remove from heat.
Place the bell peppers in a baking dish. Stuff each pepper with the beef and wild rice mixture, packing it in firmly.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, until lightly browned on top.
