Ingredients

  • 10 colorful bell peppers
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 jalapeno pepper chopped
  • 1 small white onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic chopped
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 15- ounce can black beans
  • 15- ounce can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 cup shredded queso blanco or Monterrey Jack cheese
  • 3 tablespoons favorite taco seasoning
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

FOR TOPPING

  • Chopped cilantro
  • Diced avocado
  • Mexican crema or sour cream
  • Favorite hot sauce for serving

Instructions

  • Slice the tops from the bell peppers and core out the insides. Set them into a crock pot or slow cooker. You may need 2 slow cookers.
  • Heat the oil in a small pan to medium heat and add the onion and jalapeno pepper. Cook about 5 minutes to soften.
  • Add the garlic and cook another minute, stirring.
  • Add the ground beef and cook about 5 minutes to brown it. You don't need to cook it all the way through, as it will finish in the crock pot.
  • Add the mixture to a large bowl and cool.
  • To the bowl, add the rice, black beans, crushed tomatoes, corn, shredded cheese and taco seasoning. Add salt and pepper to taste and mix it together with a wooden spoon.
  • Spoon the stuffing into each bell pepper.
  • Add about a half inch of water to the bottom of the crock pot or slow cooker and cook on low for 4-5 hours on low, or 2-3 hours on high, or until everything is cooked through and the peppers have softened to your preference.
  • Serve with cilantro and crema over the top, and your favorite hot sauce. Enjoy!
