  • 4 large bell peppers, any color you like
  • 1 pound of Johnsonville ground sausage
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 1 cup corn kernels (frozen or fresh)
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

  4. Add the onion and garlic to the skillet, and sauté until they’re soft and fragrant.
  5. Stir in the cooked rice, black beans, diced tomatoes, corn, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix it all together and let it simmer for a few minutes.
