Ingredients

  • 6 green bell peppers
  • 1 tablespoon salt (for boiling water)
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup cooked rice
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
  • 1 (10.75-ounce) can tomato soup
  • 1/2 cup water

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cut the tops off the green bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Rinse the peppers under cold water.
  3. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the peppers and cook for about 5 minutes to soften. Drain and set aside.
  4. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and chopped onion over medium heat until the beef is browned and the onion is tender. Drain excess fat.
  5. Add the diced tomatoes, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and cooked rice to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
  6. Remove from heat and mix in 1/2 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Spoon the beef mixture into the prepared green peppers and place them in a baking dish.
  8. In a small bowl, combine the tomato soup with 1/2 cup water. Pour this mixture over the stuffed peppers in the baking dish.
  9. Cover with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes.
  10. Remove the foil and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the peppers. Return to the oven and bake uncovered for another 5 to 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

  • Use red, yellow, or orange bell peppers for a sweeter flavor.
  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Feel free to add herbs like parsley or basil for extra flavor.
