How to Make Black Bean And Jalapeno Jack Stuffed Bell Peppers Vegetarian

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cut tops off of 4 large bell peppers (any color) and remove seeds and membranes. Chop the pepper tops finely.
  3. In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.
  4. Carefully add whole bell peppers to boiling water. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 4 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine the chopped pepper tops, 1 (15-ounce) can black beans (rinsed and drained), 1 cup frozen corn, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1 cup uncooked long-grain rice, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup vegetable broth.
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  7. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro and 1/2 cup shredded Jalapeno Jack cheese.
  8. Fill the parboiled bell peppers with the rice mixture.
  9. Place stuffed peppers in a lightly greased glass baking dish.
  10. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup shredded Jalapeno Jack cheese over the peppers.
  11. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
