Stuffed Peppers

I am always trying to find easy, healthy recipes that everyone likes. This was a keeper according to my family. I am slowly trying to reduce the amount of meat that we eat. Although, my husband did notice the lack of meat, he didn't complain. He actually ate leftovers for lunch the next day and was happy about it. I hope your family enjoys it as much as mine did.

Stuffed Peppers

4 Bell Peppers

1 cup cooked Brown Rice

1 can (drained and rinsed) Black Beans

1 can Rotel or your favorite Salsa

1/4 cup fresh chopped Cilantro

1 cup shredded Cheese

Salt to taste

Heat oven to 400 

Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray and tear a piece of foil the length of the cookie sheet.

Cut the peppers in half and remove the seeds.

In a bowl, mix all the ingredients together except the cheese.

Fill each pepper half full with the rice and bean mixture.

Put the peppers on the cookie sheet and cover with foil, but leave two sides open for ventilation.
Cook for 40 min, remove foil and top each pepper with cheese, and then cook another 10 min or until the cheese melts.
