So, before I share this recipe, I have a small side note. I found a recipe for stuffed peppers on Pinterest (of course!), and I modified it some, but not entirely. That being said, after eating the stuffed peppers, I decided that I needed to make a few more minor changes, so the recipe I'm sharing is the one I will be using next time. Now, without further adieu, check out this tasty vegetarian dish:
Ingredients:
4 green bell peppers, tops cut off and insides hollowed out
2 cups cooked brown rice
1 can black beans
1 large onion, diced
2 cloves minced garlice
2 tsp. vegetable oil
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/4 grated mozzarella cheese
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375. Meanwhile, saute garlic and onion in a large pan until onion is translucent. Next add cooked rice and black beans. Cook until heated through.
2. Set bell peppers into a baking dish. Fill each bell pepper with rice and bean mixture. Bake for 30 minutes or so. Pull the peppers out, top with mozzarella cheese, and bake for another 10-15 minutes, until cheese is melted and slightly golden brown.
3. Serve warm and refrigerate leftovers.
That's it! It was easy and tasty. I can hardly wait to try this new version! Share your favorite stuffed peppers recipe in the comments; I would love to give it a try!
