Peel the onions, finely dice 1 onion and roughly dice 2 onions. Clean the bell peppers and cut into strips. Finely chop the garlic. Knead the minced meat with the finely diced onion, breadcrumbs, mustard, egg, 1 teaspoon of salt, pepper, and pizza seasoning. Form 8 meatballs from the meat mixture. Heat the oil and fry the meatballs for about 5 minutes on each side, then remove. Sauté the coarsely diced onion and garlic in the frying fat, then add the bell pepper strips. Sauté everything for about 3 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and sauté, then pour in the stock and bring to a boil. Place the vegetables in a baking dish and arrange the meatballs on top. Cut the tomato into 8 slices and halve the cheese slices. Top each meatball with 1 tomato slice and 1/2 a cheese slice. Bake in a preheated oven (top/bottom heat: 225°C, fan oven: 200°C) for about 20 minutes. Sprinkle the meatballs with parsley and serve.
