Ingredients to Gather
You’ll want to gather the following ingredients to make these fabulous stuffed peppers:
- 4 large bell peppers (any color you fancy)
- 1 cup cooked rice (or quinoa for the overachievers)
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup corn (frozen or fresh—don’t be picky!)
- 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned, fresh, or just the memories of summer)
- 1 teaspoon chili powder (because why not spice things up?)
- 1 teaspoon cumin (a little more spice, please)
- Salt and pepper to taste (the classic duo)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (optional, but we all know it’s *not* really optional)
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (if you want to impress your guests)
Time to Cook!
Ready, set, cook! Follow these easy-peasy instructions for a stuffed pepper extravaganza:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). You want it nice and toasty in there.
- Slice the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds. Think of it as giving them a little haircut!
- In a bowl, combine the cooked rice, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix it up like a DJ at a party!
- If you’re feeling cheesy, throw in half of the shredded cheese into the bowl and mix it all together.
- Stuff the peppers with the delicious filling, packing it in there like it’s carrying a secret. Place them upright in a baking dish.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes. The peppers should be tender and a little floppy, like a happy puppy.
- Uncover the peppers, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top (again, optional), and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro, because let’s face it, it makes everything look fancier!
Voilà! You have created a magnificent dish that scores high on both flavor and presentation. Serve those stuffed peppers hot and watch as your guests gobble them up! Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or just treating yourself, these vegetarian stuffed peppers are bound to be a hit! Enjoy!
