Reduce the heat to medium low for the peppers and stuff them with the beef and rice filling.

Notes

Charcoal/Gas Grill - Peppers can be pre-cooked on the grill in the same fashion. The beef and rice mixture can be done in a cast iron pan on the grill or on the stovetop. Heavy duty foil or a grill mat can be used after stuffing the peppers to make sure they don't tip over on the grill. Oven - Pre-cook the peppers on a lined sheet pan at 375˚ for 7 minutes. Cook the beef and rice mixture in a pan on the stovetop over medium heat. Stuff the peppers and return to the oven to cook, covered in foil, for 15-20 minutes until fork tender. Top with cheese for 5 more minutes or until cheese is melted. Dairy-Free - Substitute cheese with a dairy-free alternative.
