If necessary, cut a thin slice from the bottom of each pepper so they sit flat.
In a medium bowl, stir together 1 cup rice and 1 can undrained beans; spoon into peppers.
Place peppers, filled-side up, in cooker.
To serve, transfer peppers to serving plate and cut in half, if desired.
Spoon tomato sauce over peppers and sprinkle with 3 ounces cheese.
