Provided by lovemygolden

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 large green peppers
1 pound ground beef
1 ⁄2 cup onion, chopped
16-ounce can diced tomatoes
1 ⁄2 cup long-grain rice
1 ⁄2 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded, about 4 ounces

Steps:

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.
