Stuffed Peppers

Cook the rice. Cook ground beef and onion until done. Meanwhile, slice peppers in half lengthwise; parboil peppers for 5 minutes and drain. Once beef and onions are done, drain off the fat. Add tomato sauce to the beef and onion mixture and simmer for 5 minutes. When rice is done, combine it with the beef mixture. Place peppers in a baking dish. Fill peppers with the beef and rice mixture. Pour tomato sauce AROUND the peppers (not over). Cover the baking dish. Bake at 350°F for 35 minutes and then uncover and top with the shredded cheese. Bake uncovered for about 5 minutes more to melt cheese.
