1
Set oven to broil.
2
Brown beef (or sausage) in a large pan with the spices (if using sausage, don't add the spices).
3
While beef is browning, prepare yellow rice as instructed on bag or box (or use your own recipe) in another large pan.
4
While beef and rice are cooking: rinse, halve, and seed your bell peppers and place them hollowed-side up in a 13 x 7 inch baking dish.

When beef is done browning, add the beef, diced tomatoes, and 1.5 cups of cheese in with the rice pan and stir till thoroughly mixed.
