Red and black bean stuffed pepper

Mendy asked me to post this recipe. That is more difficult than it sound because there is no recipe. This is one of those things that I just make and really don't think about it. so here goes


Ingredients:

Beans: I used red and black combined. but you could pick whatever kind you want
Rice I also have used the Kashi 7 grain pilaf and that's good too.
peppers any color. and amount based on the number you want to make
tomato sauce
onion,
carrots
zucchini
yellow sqaush
seasons to taste. I like Italian spices I use lots of oregano and basil and Mrs dash
if there in seasons fresh tomatoes are nice
2% milk cheese I like the Mexican mix cheese

cook rice or pilaf
prep beans. I always use dry and soak them and cook them. but if you used canned us ope them
chop all veggies except peppers
cut peppers in half deseed and steam lightly
after rice is done. mix all chopped veggies, seasons and beans mix together in bowl
after peppers are done. spray glass dish with Pam. place peppers on their backs in the dish.
fill with rice, bean veggie mix. I always fill all the empty spaces with extra goo
sprinkle with cheese. slice tomato and put on top

bake at 350 for 20-30 min till cheese is melted and everything is hot.

I have done this same basic thing with ground turkey or sirloin.
I have also froze the "goo" and made the peeper part later. My husband has also suggested chopping the peppers up in it instead of having the "pepper boats"
This is a very fluid recipe I do the whole thing to taste.
enjoy
