Directions:

  1. Cut off the tops of the peppers, scoop out the seeds and membrane and wash peppers real good.
  2. Wash and dice pepper tops for later use.
  3. Fill a large pot with water and some salt.
  4. Put in the peppers and bring to a boil.

  6. Cook rice according to package instructions and set aside.
  7. In a large skillet, brown ground beef, onions and bell pepper until meat is no longer pink. Drain off grease and return to skillet.

  9. Heat on med-lo until mixture is warm.
  10. Preheat oven to 350 deg.
  11. Stuff the peppers with the mixture and pack until peppers are good and fill.
  12. Cover the tops of the peppers with cheese.
  13. Place peppers in a covered glass pan and add enough water to cover the bottom of the pan.
  14. Put pan into the oven for 20 minutes or just until the cheese melts.
  15. Remove from oven and let stand (covered) for 10 minutes.
