Vegetarian Stuffed Peppers Recipe
Vegetarian stuffed peppers are tender bell peppers filled with rice, vegetables, beans, tomato sauce, and cheese, then baked until warm and bubbly. A healthy and filling meatless dinner recipe.
Ingredients
- 4 red orange, and/or yellow bell peppers
- 1 yellow onion diced
- 4 garlic cloves diced
- 2 c. black beans if canned rinse before using
- 12 oz. canned diced tomatoes
- 1 c. canned or frozen corn
- 4 green onions chopped
- 1 packet of taco seasoning
- 2 c. cooked rice
- 1/2 c. cilantro chopped
- 2 c. cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400℉/200℃/Gas Mark 6.
- Slice off the tops of the peppers and remove the seeds on the inside. Place the peppers, topside down, on a baking sheet lined with a little water and bake for 20 minutes.
- While the peppers are baking, fry the chopped onion on a pan for about 6 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté until aromatic, about 1 minute. Add the rinsed black beans, diced tomatoes, corn, and green onions. Sprinkle the taco seasoning packet on top of the ingredients and mix well. Heat through, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and mix in the rice, cilantro, and 1 c. of cheddar cheese. Stuff the baked peppers with the mixture and sprinkle the last bit of cheese on top of each of the open peppers. Remove the water from the baking sheet and line with parchment paper.
- Baked for another 15 minutes or until the contents are heated through and the cheese is melted. Let cool and enjoy!
