Brown the ground beef, onion, celery and garlic; drain the fat. Stir in all of the remaining ingredients except the cheese and green peppers. Simmer 10 minutes.

These turned out very good and I'll definitely make them again. The peppers were just right with the 3 minute parboil. I used to do them for 5 minutes, but they tended to come out over-cooked after baking.
