Cook rice and put aside. Cut the tops off 4-5 green peppers and hollow out the inside. Boil a pot of water and parboil peppers for 3 minutes. Set aside. Pre-heat the oven the 350.
Brown ground beef in a med-high skillet. Add 1 diced medium onion and green pepper, and saute for 3 minutes. Add eggplant, tomatoes and jalapeno, salt, pepper, thyme and tomatoes and saute for 5-10 minutes longer. Stir in about 3 ounces shredded cheddar cheese and 1 cup of cooked rice. Fill peppers and bake for about 25-30 minutes. Sprinkle the tops with cheese or green onions. Serve.
