Steps:
- Cut tops off bell peppers, making a bell pepper "bowl".
- Remove seeds and membrane, rinsing well under cold water.
- Par-boil peppers for approximately 5 minutes.
- Remove peppers from boiling water and place in a 9 x 13 baking dish.
- Brown ground beef and drain any excess fat.
- Add chopped onion to ground beef, stirring every few minutes.
- Meanwhile, make rice by boiling the cup of water and butter, adding rice and simmering until rice is cooked, as you would normally make steamed rice.
- While rice is cooking, mix tomato sauce, sugar and basil together in a seperate bowl.
- When rice is done, add to meat and onion mixture.
- Add half of the sauce and half of the cheddar cheese to meat mixture, stirring all together.
- Spoon meat mixture into each bell pepper; if you have any left over you can spoon some around the peppers as well.
- Spoon remaining sauce mixture over each bell pepper and top with remaining cheese.
- Bake at 350 for approx 20 minutes.
- NOTE: Although this sounds like a lot of steps to go through, this is one of those recipes where you can be doing more than one thing at a time.
- I usually start my water to boil for the par-boiling of the peppers at the same time I'm browing the ground beef and chopping my onion, and cleaning the bell peppers.
- I am also guilty of making more sauce than needed, and adding more cheese than necessary. I really don't think you can screw this up -- it's just a matter of personal taste, so feel free to play with the amounts.

MOM'S STUFFED BELL PEPPERS
What I love most about these stuffed peppers is that the meat goes in uncooked, so it forms kind of a solid "meatball" in the pepper. I think these are much better than the stuffed peppers where the meat is cooked first and stays "loose". If someone in your family does not like peppers, make some meatballs from the mixture and drop them in the pot along with the stuffed peppers. Enjoy!

- Prepare the bell peppers properly: Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and ribs. Rinse the peppers thoroughly and pat them dry.
- Cook the rice ahead of time: This will save you time and ensure that the rice is cooked perfectly.
- Use a variety of fillings: Get creative with your fillings! You can use ground beef, turkey, chicken, or pork. You can also add vegetables, such as onions, celery, carrots, and corn. And don't forget the cheese!
- Stuff the bell peppers tightly: This will help to prevent the peppers from falling apart during cooking.
- Bake the bell peppers at a high temperature: This will help to create a nice crust on the peppers and prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Serve the bell peppers hot: Stuffed bell peppers are best served hot out of the oven. You can garnish them with parsley or cilantro for a pop of color.
