Meanwhile add the ground beef on the other side of the grill and top with seasonings. Cook, while breaking it up while the peppers cook.
After 3 minutes, flip the peppers over and cook for 3 more minutes with a dome, while the beef finishes cooking.
Reduce the heat to medium low for the beef and mix in the tomatoes. Let it simmer for 2 minutes, then mix in the rice.
Reduce the heat to medium low for the peppers and stuff them with the beef and rice filling.

Top with the shredded cheese, cover and let cook for 1 minute to melt the cheese.

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.
