Serves: 4
Adapted by: http://www.katrina-runs.com/sweet-peppers

Ingredients
4 large bell peppers (I used green but you could use any color you prefer)
1 pound lean ground beef OR ground turkey breast (I used ground turkey breast to be healthier)
1 can petite diced tomatoes, drained but reserve the juice
1 cup whole kernel corn (can be canned or frozen, just make sure to drain well)
1/2 cup cooked brown rice
1/2 cup black beans, drained
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 cup shredded, reduced-fat cheese (any kind you prefer, we used sharp cheddar)
salt and pepper, to taste

Directions
-In a large saucepan, ground the beef or turkey until cooked through. Drain all grease.
-Pour half of the tomatoes into the saucepan.
-Add corn, rice, beans, spices, and cheese to the saucepan.
-Heat through.
-Cut the tops of the peppers and remove the core/seeds.
-Pack meat mixture into each of the peppers, filling all the way up.
-Pour the remaining tomatoes and the juice in the bottom of the crockpot.
-Place each bell pepper into the crockpot.
-Cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours.
-Top each stuffed pepper with additional shredded cheese, if desired.

Enjoy! :)
