Black Bean Bell Pepper

In my first attempt to GO FOR IT! I kind of made something up!

I knew I wanted to make some stuffed peppers because we just went shopping and I got these amazing bright red peppers! These are all first attempts so my pictures kind of suck! Hopefully I will get better at taking pictures!

So, I created this recipe and it turned out great! I actually burnt the cheese on top so I didn't take a final pic but you gotta believe me! Oh, and I used Beef broth, so my first attemp wasn't actually all veggi. It was probably artificial flavor anyways!

I do have to warn you. I don't measure very well. I also just throw stuff in.. that is why these recipe collections will be under the title " Go For It!" because that is what I did! Enjoy!

Black Bean Bell Pepper

• 4 Red Bell Pepper
• Rice
• One Portabella Mushroom Top, chopped
• Small Can Sliced Black Olives
• 15 oz Black Beans, drained & rinsed
• Beef Broth
• Small Can Tomato Sauce
• Mozzarella Cheese
• Olive Oil & Veggi Oil
• Chopped Onions & Garlic
• Salt and Pepper

First is first! I've got to prep the rice! I LOVE making rice and once I taught Adam he makes a pot everyday! Puerto Rican rice has a crisp texture to it. It is not sticky or bloated! It's loose and wonderful! Anyways, first you've got to saute your onions and garlic in some olive oil. Next, I added my chopped mushrooms and got that breaking down! I added some Beef broth, maybe 1.5 cups. S&P'd it!!Cut opened my cans and added them in! Rinse your beans first! It makes less black mess!

Bring liquid to a boil then add a couple cups of rice. Be sure the liquis covers the rice, you might need to add more. Add a spoon full of vegetable oil and stir. Top the pot and turn temp way down LOW! Let cook for 30 minutes.

Preheat over to 400. In your dish add an 8oz can of tomato sauce. Cut your peppers in half and clean them out! When rice is done, stuff peppers and place them on top of the sauce. Then top your peppers with handfuls of cheese! Bake for 50 minutes!

You probably want to cover with foil for the first half because my cheese got pretty crispy!

It was super yummy to me! I loved it for 3 days in a row!
