Beef-Stuffed Green Peppers

• 4 medium-size green peppers
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
• 1/2 pound ground chuck
• 1 (14 1/2-ounce) can tomatoes, drained and chopped
• 3/4 cup cooked regular rice
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 1/3 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1/3 cup buttered cracker crumbs

1. Cut off tops and remove seeds from peppers. Discard seeds and set tops aside. Cook peppers 5 minutes in boiling salted water; drain well, and set aside.
2. Chop tops of peppers; combine with onion and garlic. Saute vegetables in butter in a large skillet until tender; add meat, and cook until meat is browned, stirring to crumble. Drain well. Stir in tomatoes, rice, salt, and pepper.
3. Fill peppers with meat mixture. Place in an 8-inch square baking dish. Top each pepper with cheese and cracker crumbs. Bake at 350u0b0 for 25 to 30 minutes.
