The peppers are coming in! Once they start it’s crazy but we love them. This recipe is something I have just cultivated over the years, really with our favorite foods.

6 to 8 bell peppers
1 lb ground meat
2 cups cooked rice
1 can black beans drained and rinsed
1 cup frozen corn
1 can tomatoes with green chilies
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 tsp each: garlic powder, salt, cumin
1 cup shreddedsharpe cheddar cheese

I cut my peppers lengthwise and arrange in a shallow baking dish. In a large iron skillet brown your meat then add your chopped onions and drain any grease if needed. Now add beans, corn, rice, chilies and spices. When you get everything combined spoon out into your peppers and heat oven to 350 degrees. Bake for about 20 minutes then add cheese and return to the oven for about 5 more minutes. Note: if you like your peppers a little softer then blanch them about 2 minutes in boiling water before stuffing them.
