Preheat the oven to 350 F.
Lightly brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up as you go.

Add the onion and bell pepper. Cook, stirring, until the beef is done and the vegetables are soft. Drain any excess grease.
Reduce heat to medium-low and add the tomatoes with their juices along with the Worcestershire, enchilada sauce and salt and pepper to taste.
Bring to a simmer, stirring, and let simmer for 5 minutes.

Substitute pepper jack for the cheddar and add some jalapeno slices when serving for a more kicked-up version!
