    4 bell peppers (any color you choose)
    1 pound of lean ground beef
    1/3 cup chopped onion (1.5 tbsp dried)
    salt & pepper to taste
    1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
    1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Directions

Makes 5 servings

1. Preheat oven to 350. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cut the tops off the peppers, and remove the seeds. Cook peppers in boiling water for 5 minutes; drain. Sprinkle salt inside each pepper and set aside.

2. In a large skillet, saute beef and onions for 5 minutes, or untill beef is no longer pink. Drain off excess fat and season with salt and pepper. Stir in tomatoes, rice, water and Worcestershire sauce. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, or until rice is tender. Remove from heat and stir in the cheese.

3. Stuff each pepper with the beef and rice mixture, and place peppers open side up in a baking dish. In a medium bowl, combine soup with just enough water to make the soup a gravy consistency. Pour over peppers. Top with extra cheese if desired.

4. Bake covered for 25 to 35 minutes, until heated through and cheese is melted and bubbly.
