  2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  3. Heat oil in a large skillet to medium. Add meat, garlic and onion. Cook until meat is brown and onions are tender.
  4. Stir in tomatoes, rice, Worcestershire, basil, oregano, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer until rice is tender (15-20 minutes.)
  5. Stir in half of the cheese. Fill peppers with mixture from skillet and place in a large baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
  6. Bake for about 15 minutes, until heated through and cheese is brown and bubbly.
  7. Let stand for 1-2 minutes. Serve.
  • You can cook the rice ahead of time (in which case water is not needed when rice is stirred in) to save time.
