Stuffed Roasted Peppers

Ingredients

  • 3 red bell peppers
  • 3/4 cup instant brown rice
  • 1 cup chunky-style mild salsa
  • 1/2 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained (optional)
  • 1/2 cup frozen corn
  • 1 cup (4 oz.) Sargento® Shredded Reduced Fat Mild Cheddar Cheese, divided
  • 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Directions

  1. Cut peppers in half; remove seeds. Place in 12x8-inch baking dish, cut-side down. Bake in preheated 425°F oven 15 minutes or until skins begin to bubble and peppers are just tender.
  2. Heat 3/4 cup water to a boil in small saucepan. Stir in rice; return to boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 5 minutes. Stir in salsa, beans and corn. Add 3/4 cup cheese; mix lightly.
  3. Fill baked peppers with rice mixture; cover with foil. Bake in preheated 400°F oven 15 minutes. Uncover; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Continue baking 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and filling is hot. Sprinkle with cilantro, if desired.
