Stuffed Peppers

Our grocery store had green peppers on sale 2/$1 so I had to make some stuffed peppers. These are a little different than what mom made growing up, but they are very good and easy too!

Stuffed Peppers from Our Dairy Specialties cookbook
4 or 6 peppers
1 lb. hamburger
1/3 cup onion, chopped
salt and pepper
1 T oil
1 can diced or stewed tomatoes (mine had chiles in them for an extra kick)
1 c cooked white rice
2 or 3 T Worcestershire sauce
2 cups cheddar cheese ( 1 cup for sauce and 1 cup for topping)

Brown the first 5 ingredients (excluding the peppers). Add remaining ingredients. Simmer while cooking the green peppers. Clean peppers. Precook 5 minutes in boiling salt water. Drain, then sprinkle with salt (I forget this step and they were still good). Fill with mixture. Bake uncovered at 350 for 25 minutes or until hot. Then top with cheese until melted. This is a meal all in itself.
