Stuffed Bell Peppers step by step

1. Slice the tops off the bell peppers, and remove the seeds. Dice the bell pepper tops until you have 1/2 cup of them, and set aside the rest in the fridge for a different recipe..
2. Boil the bell peppers, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Drain upside down, and sprinkle salt and pepper lightly on the insides..
3. In a skillet, cook the beef, onions, and bell peppers til the meat is browned and the vegetables are tender. Drain the fat..
4. Add the rice uncooked, undrained tomatoes, water, salt, pepper, and worcestershire. Bring to a boil, and simmer for 15 minutes covered, or until the rice is tender. Stir often to make sure the rice doesn't stick to the pan..
5. Once the rice is tender, mix your cup of cheese in, and then stuff the mixture into your peppers..
6. Cover your baking dish holding the peppers, and bake in an oven at 350° oven for 30 to 35 minutes..
7. If you don't like the bell pepper skins, like me, then when they're done cooking, if you flip them onto a plate so the bottoms are facing up, you can pierce the center with a fork and peel the skins off in large strips fairly easily, instead of trying to do it from the cut side down..

Drain and rinse in cold water; set aside. In a large skillet, saute onion and garlic in oil until tender. Stuffed bell peppers are a classic comfort food with rice, ground beef, a few savory seasonings, topped with tomato sauce. Growing up, this was one of my favorite meals. Now that I'm an adult, it's one of my go-to recipes whenever I need something quick, easy, and delicious!
