Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. While water is coming to a boil, wash your peppers and cut off the tops. Clean out the inside of them until all the seeds are out and they are nice and clean. Put them into boiling water and cook until parboiled, they need to still be firm, not soft at all. When done drain and set aside.

In a large fry pan boil the water then add the rice cover once it comes to a boil, then simmer and cover with lid. (You can use instant rice if you like. Just add it to the meat when I tell you to add the rice) cook for about 10 to15 minutes. If water is gone or very little left put rice in strainer and let sit.

Wipe out the fry pan, put in your meat and onions and cook on med high until brown, stirring frequently. Once meat and onion brown strain any grease from the pan. Add the rice and the tomatoes, stir until mixed well. Add the pepper, salt , and cinnamon mix the spices very good into the meat and rice mixture, let simmer a few minutes.

Pre-heat the oven to 350° Get an 8×8 pan(I recommend ceramic or glass) put a little of the juices and mix on the bottom of the pan. Fill your peppers with the mix and place in the pan, put the tops on the peppers. Cover with aluminum foil. Cook for 40 minutes.

Take out of oven tilt the tops so you can see the mixture inside the peppers. Put the grated cheese on top of each pepper. Cover and place back in the oven for 10 more minutes. Take out and serve.
