Ground Beef Stuffed Green Bell Peppers With Cheese

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Cut tops from green peppers; discard seeds and membranes.

Chop enough of the green pepper tops to make 1/4 cup, set aside.

Cook the whole green peppers, uncovered in boiling water for about 5 minutes; invert to drain well. Sprinkle insides of peppers lightly with salt.

In a skillet cook ground beef, onion and 1/4 cup chopped pepper till meat is browned and vegetables are tender. Drain off excess fat.

Add undrained tomatoes, uncooked rice, water, salt, Worcestershire, and a dash of pepper.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer about 20 minutes or until rice is tender.

Stir in cheese. Stuff peppers with meat mixture. Place in a 10x6x2 baking dish.

Bake, covered in a 350° oven for 30 minutes.
