We had baseball and more baseball.
The weather turned out to be lovely!
I’ve got an easy side to share with you today, stuffed bell peppers.
I made pulled pork in the crockpot and stuffed bell peppers as the side.
My two teens are wanting more vegetables, every mother’s dream, right?
I didn’t follow a recipe but I used what I had in the pantry as the filling. You could easily add chicken or beef making this a meal. I love that you can really make these to suit your family’s tastes or use what you have on hand.
Five bell peppers, I had more stuffing that I'll use for tacos or something else.
Two cups cooked rice. Used a little over one cup for five peppers.
One can of black beans, rinsed. Half a can.
One can of corn, half a can.
One can of petite diced tomatoes. Half a can.
Cut tops of peppers off and take out inside of peppers.
Mix all ingredients except cheese.
Cover with cheese, I used pepper jack and cheddar.
Bake at 350 for about 45-60 minutes depending on how tender you want the peppers.
I did mine about 45 minutes.
Take foil off for the last few minutes of cooking!
I love, love bell peppers and I have 3 in my garden that are begging to come in my kitchen and get filled with this yummy goodness!
