Sloppy Joe Stuffed Peppers

1 pound lean ground beef 1 small onion, chopped 1 large stalk celery, chopped 1 clove garlic, minced 1/2 cup tomato sauce 1 teaspoon granular Splenda 1 1/2 teaspoons white vinegar 1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 1/2 teaspoon mustard 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon pepper 8 ounces lowfat shredded cheddar cheese, divided (or any other cheese of your choice - I used Colby Jack) 3 green peppers, halved lengthwise (cut from top to bottom - through the stem) Brown the ground beef, onion, celery and garlic; drain fat. Stir in all remaining ingredients except the cheese and green peppers. Simmer 10 minutes. Meanwhile, parboil the pepper halves in a little boiling water for 3 minutes; drain. Place peppers, cut-side-up in a shallow baking dish. Remove meat from heat and stir half the cheese into the mixture; fill pepper halves with meat. Top with remaining cheese. Bake at 350º 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted and peppers are tender. Makes six servings.
