Stuffed Peppers

 Ingredients:

2 large green peppers, halved lengthwise

1 pound ground beef

1/4 cup onion, chopped, 1 1/4 ounces

1 clove garlic, minced

1/2 cup tomato, chopped, about 2 ounces

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded

2 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded, for topping

I had 4 ounces of pepper-jack cheese and a 2 ounce chunk of cheddar that needed to be used up so I put the jack in the meat mixture and the cheddar on top. These were very good. Do not use pre-shredded cheese. The powdery coating doesn't allow it to melt properly.
