Beef and Rice-Stuffed Peppers

Directions

1. Place a rack in the upper-middle of oven and heat to 350 degrees. Place peppers cut-side up in a 9x13" baking dish and set aside.
2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add beef, stirring to break up into small pieces, and cook until no longer pink, 8 to 10 minutes.
3. Combine beef, rice, and salsa in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste; divide mixture among peppers.
4. Pour water into baking dish, cover tightly with foil, and bake until peppers are tender, about 30 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle peppers evenly with cheese, and broil until cheese is melted and browned, 2 to 3 more minutes.
