Inside-Out Stuffed Bell Peppers

This is a really great and easy recipe. My kids love it; and of course they don't like veggies! I received this through a recipe swap from a woman named Jeannie Lofland. I add fresh garlic to the beef and sprinkle seasoning between layers. I also like to use different cheeses; cheddar can be so oily. Try putting a bit of cheese on top of the beef before adding the other ingredients.

• Ready In: 1 hr 25 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 1  lb ground beef
• 1⁄2 cup  chopped onion
• 1 (16 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
• 1  large green pepper, diced into small pieces
• 1⁄2 cup  uncooked long grain rice
• 1⁄2 cup water
• 2  teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
• 1  cup  shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

1. In a skillet, brown beef and drain.
2. Transfer to a greased 2-quart casserole dish.
3. Add the next eight ingredients right on top of the beef.
4. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for about 1 hour or until rice is tender.
5. Uncover and sprinkle with the cheese; return to the oven until cheese melts; about 5 minutes.
6. If the rice doesn't cook all the way; which sometimes happens, just cover with a bit more hot or boiling water and bake a little longer.
7. So the dish doesn't get washed out by the water; put some beef oxo cubes or just use beef broth to add more flavor.
