4 servings

  • 4 green bell peppers, tops and seeds removed (reserve tops)
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 0.5 cup chopped onion
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
  • 0.5 cup long grain white rice
  • 0.5 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Chop enough reserved green pepper tops to equal 1/4 cup; set aside. Discard remaining tops or use for another purpose.
  • Place hollowed-out green peppers in a microwave-safe dish; cover and cook in microwave until bright green and steaming, about 3 minutes. Set peppers aside.
  • Cook and stir ground beef in a skillet with onion and 1/4 cup chopped pepper tops over medium heat until beef is browned, the juices run clear, and the onion is translucent, about 10 minutes. Drain excess grease.
  • Pour in diced tomatoes with their juice, rice, water, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover skillet, and simmer until rice is tender, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Stir Cheddar cheese into ground beef-rice mixture and spoon mixture into precooked peppers. Set peppers upright in an 8x8-inch baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and peppers are tender, about 30 minutes.
