Ingredients

Scale

4 large bell peppers
2 cups cooked rice
1 cup leftover shredded chicken or taco meat {I used chicken}
1 cup corn kernels {I used frozen}
1 {15 oz} can S&W jalapeno flavored black beans, drained
3/4 cup salsa {Here is my homemade salsa recipe}
3/4 shredded cheese {cheddar is preferred, but I used mozzarella}
1/4 cup shredded cheese to sprinkle over the top of the peppers towards the end
1/2 cup water


Instructions

  1. Chop off the top of the bell pepper and remove the seeds and membranes.
  2. In a large bowl, combined the chicken, rice, corn black beans, salsa and 3/4 cup of cheese and mix well, and stuff the bell peppers with the rice mixture.
  3. Carefully place the bell peppers in a crock pot {you want them to fit nice and tight into the crock pot} if you have a large crock pot like I do than simply pack the peppers as close as you can and prop them up with a custard dish or two so they do not fall over.
  4. Place 1/2 water into the bottom of the crock pot, put on the lid and cook for 4 hours on low.
  5. Just prior to serving sprinkle 1/4 of cheese over the tops of the peppers, put the lid back on for an additional 5 -7 minutes so the cheese has time to melt.
  6. Serve warm.
