1
Start by cleaning the green peppers.
-
2
Cut off the tops, clean out the insides (take out the seeds and membranes), and rinse and dry them.
-
3
Then, in a pot of salted boiling water, boil the peppers for a few minutes, just until they start to soften.
-
4
Remove them from the water.
-
5
Drain and pat dry.
-
6
Sprinkle the inside of the peppers with salt, and set aside for later.
-
7
Preheat oven to 350 F.
-
8
Pull out a very large skillet and heat it over medium heat.
-
9
Once hot, add beef and diced onions and cook until the meat is cooked through and no pink remains, about 5 minutes.
-
10
Mop up the extra fat with a paper towel and then season with salt and a touch of pepper.
-
11
Into the meat and onions, add canned diced tomatoes, rice, water (thats been mixed with the bouillon cube) and Worcestershire sauce.
-
12
Give it a good stir, cover, and simmer to let the rice get tender.
-
13
This should take about 15 minutes.
-
14
You may need to lower your heat a touch, but as long as your mixture is simmering, and not boiling, youll be fine!
-
15
Remove from heat and stir in the first amount of cheddar cheese.
-
16
Place some of the beef and rice mixture into the bottom of each green pepperjust enough to fill half of each pepper.
-
17
Set these upright in a small, glass baking pan.
-
18
It should be big enough so that all 6 peppers can fit, but small enough that they wont tip over.
-
19
Set this aside to make the tomato sauce.
-
20
Combine the condensed tomato soup with a splash (or two) of water, or until the tomato soup becomes the consistency of gravy.
-
21
It should run off your spoon, but not be watery.
-
22
Top the beef mixture with the tomato sauce and top that with the rest of the beef and rice mixture.
-
23
Then top with more tomato sauce.
-
24
Top with more cheese.
-
25
As much or as little as you like.
-
26
Cover the pan with foil.
-
27
Make sure to spray the foil with baking spray before covering the pan with it!
-
28
Bake at 350 F for about 30 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted.
-
29
If your cheese isnt melted after 30 minutes, remove the foil, and broil (watch it the entire time) until the cheese is melted to your liking!
