Stuffed Green Peppers

2 large green peppers Boiling salted water 1 lb. ground meat 4 slices American cheese 1 can Spanish rice ¼ teaspoon garlic salt 1/8 teaspoon pepper ½ teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon salad oil ¼ teaspoon oregano Halve green peppers and cut out stems and seeds. Drop into boiling salted water and cook 5 minutes; remove and drain. Mix ground beef, garlic salt, pepper and salt; shape lightly into 4 patties about the same shape as the green pepper shells. Heat salad oil in frying pan and brown the patties on both sides (to keep meat on rare side, brown quickly, about 3 minutes on a side as it will cook a little more in the oven.) Remove patties and place one in each pepper shell, arrange in a greased 8 inch square baking pan. In the frying pan, heat Spanish rice with oregano until hot;, pour over meat in each pepper. Top each with slice of cheese. Bake, uncovered at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until heated thru and cheese melts.
