Neddie’s Stuffed Peppers

Submitted by Marnie Ellis

5-6 medium green peppers
3-4 cup cooked white rice
1-1/2 pounds ground beef
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup onion, chopped
salt and pepper
1-16 ounce can stewed tomatoes
shredded cheddar cheese

Cut the tops off the peppers and clean out the seeds. Boil them for 5 minutes or cook in the microwave to soften them, or else allow more cooking time in the oven. Brown the meat and the onion; cut up the tomatoes and add to the meat. Add the rice, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to taste. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the cheese. Stuff the peppers and stand them upright in a baking dish. Sprinkle with cheese and bake at 350º for 25-30 minutes.
