Instructions
Cut thin slice from stem ends to remove each top. Remove seeds and membranes. In large dutch oven, place bell peppers and enough water to cover them. Cover with lid and heat to boiling. After boiling for 8 minutes, remove peppers and let them drain.
While peppers are cooking, brown ground beef for 6-8 minutes over medium heat. Drain fat from pan and remove beef.
Add a little olive oil to the pan and add the onion and swiss chard. Saute for 6-7 minutes or until greens are wilted. Add in the garlic and cook for 2 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Add the beef and other ingredients (except the bell peppers & cheese) to the pan. Let it simmer for 10-15 minutes.
Mix in cheese. Scoop the mixture into each pepper. Stand up right in the greased baking dish. Bake in oven for 30 minutes.
Notes
If there is any extra mixture that won't fit in the bell peppers, I place it in the baking dish around the peppers.
