By A_Liebmann

A delicious stuffed pepper recipe that's easy to make. Each green bell pepper contains ground beef, onion, tomatoes, rice and cheese.

Ingredients

• 2 green bell peppers
• salt to taste
• 5 ounces ground beef
• 1 tablespoon and 2-1/4 teaspoons
• chopped onion
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 Cup uncooked rice
• 2 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons water
• 1/3 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1/4 can of tomato paste

Preparation

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cut the tops off the peppers, and remove the seeds. Cook peppers in boiling water for 5 minutes; drain. Sprinkle salt inside each pepper, and set aside.

In a large skillet, saute beef and onions for 5 minutes, or until beef is browned. Drain off excess fat, and season with salt and pepper. Stir in rice, 1/2 cup water, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce. Cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until rice is tender. Remove from heat, and stir in the cheese.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. (175 degrees C). Stuff each pepper with the beef and rice mixture, and place peppers open side.

Bake covered for 25 to 35 minutes, until heated through and cheese is melted and bubbly.
