Brown meat and onion, over medium-high heat, in a large skillet, pot or dutch oven, then drain.
Boil chopped green peppers in water until soft (10-15 minutes). Drain. You could also cook them for about 5 minutes in the microwave. Cook rice in separate pot. * I use brown minute rice to make it quicker.
Mix cooked rice, green pepper, ground beef and remaining ingredients (except cheese) together and pour into prepared baking dish (dutch oven or oven safe casserole dish).
Top with shredded cheese. Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Then turn it up to 500 degrees F and broil for 1-2 minutes until cheese is lightly brown and bubbly. Serve hot.
