Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 large red bell peppers, halved and seeded
1 (8 ounce) can stewed tomatoes, with liquid

2 tablespoons hot water
2 green onions, thinly sliced
½ cup frozen corn kernels, thawed and drained
½ (15 ounce) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • Arrange pepper halves in a 9 inch square glass baking dish. Cover dish with plastic wrap. Poke a few holes in the plastic wrap for vents, and heat 4 minutes in the microwave, or until tender.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my peppers turned out dry and bland. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These stuffed peppers were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I'll have to try making them again with less spice.
