Stuffed Green Peppers

I've been meaning to post this recipe for awhile. I make it often enough to be considered a go-to meal. We both like it a lot and everyone who I've made it for has also liked it, or at least they say they do.

Ingredients

• 6 large green peppers
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1 16-oz can tomatoes
• 1/2 cup long grain rice
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup shredded cheese

Directions

Cut tops of green peppers; discard seeds and membranes. Chop enough of the tops to make 1/4 cup; set aside. Cook the whole green peppers, uncovered, in boiling water for 5 minutes; invert to drain well. Sprinkle insides of peppers lightly with salt. In a skillet cook ground beef, onions, and the 1/4 cup chopped green peppers till meat is browned and vegetables are tender. Drain off excess fat. Add undrained tomatoes, uncooked rice, water, salt, Worcestershire, and dash pepper. Bring to broiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 15-18 minutes or till rice is tender. Stuff peppers with meat mixture. Place in a 10x6x2-inch baking dish. Bake, covered, in a 350 degree oven for 30-35 minutes.
