Ingredients
- 4 green bell peppers, tops and seeds removed (reserve tops)
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ cup chopped onion
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
- ½ cup long grain white rice
- ½ cup water
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch ground black pepper

Directions
Step 1
Chop enough reserved green pepper tops to equal 1/4 cup; set aside. Discard remaining tops or use for another purpose.
Step 2
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 6
Stir Cheddar cheese into ground beef-rice mixture and spoon mixture into precooked peppers. Set peppers upright in an 8×8-inch baking dish.
