6 medium green bell peppers
1 pound of ground beef
1/3 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
8 oz. can of tomato sauce *
¾ cup minute rice
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper

Brown meat and onion in vegetable oil; add tomatoes, rice, and Worcestershire. Salt & Pepper to taste. Cover and simmer till rice is almost tender (about 5 minutes). Stand peppers upright in 10x6x1½ inch baking dish. Stuff peppers half full with meat mixture. Add a layer of cheese, then continue with meat mixture. Finally, place more cheese on top of each stuffed pepper cup. Bake uncovered in moderate oven (350°) 25 minutes or till cheese is melted. Serves 6.
