Wash and clean out the centers of the green peppers. Put them in a shallow baking dish.
Prepare the ground beef according to the directions on the taco seasoning package. Line the bottom insides of each pepper with shredded cheese. Stir the diced tomato into the prepared Spanish rice.
Layer the insides of each pepper with ground beef, rice/tomato combo, and cheese until the pepper is filled.
Top each pepper with cheese and a dollop of salsa. Add remaining rice/tomato combo and ground beef to the pan (arranging around the peppers).
Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the whole pan. -Add dollops of salsa all arround the pan. Cover with aluminum foil.
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
Remove aluminum foil and continue to bake for 15 minutes.
Serves 4.
Use the extra meat and rice in the pan to dip tortilla chips in -- it's delicious!
