I've been eating this since childhood, and generally each bell pepper (also known as capsicum) is enough for one meal either by itself or with sides. The stuffing is intended for 6 bell peppers, but can be eaten by itself or in like a wrap if you like.

Steps

1

Slice the tops off the bell peppers, and remove the seeds. Dice the bell pepper tops until you have 1/2 cup of them, and set aside the rest in the fridge for a different recipe.
2

Boil the bell peppers, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Drain upside down, and sprinkle salt and pepper lightly on the insides.
3

In a skillet, cook the beef, onions, and bell peppers til the meat is browned and the vegetables are tender. Drain the fat.
4

Add the rice uncooked, undrained tomatoes, water, salt, pepper, and worcestershire. Bring to a boil, and simmer for 15 minutes covered, or until the rice is tender. Stir often to make sure the rice doesn't stick to the pan.
5

Once the rice is tender, mix your cup of cheese in, and then stuff the mixture into your peppers.
6

Cover your baking dish holding the peppers, and bake in an oven at 350° oven for 30 to 35 minutes.
7

If you don't like the bell pepper skins, like me, then when they're done cooking, if you flip them onto a plate so the bottoms are facing up, you can pierce the center with a fork and peel the skins off in large strips fairly easily, instead of trying to do it from the cut side down.
