Vegetarian Stuffed Peppers

I made this meal on Ash Wednesday.  I love a good stuffed pepper...whether it has meat in it or not!

Preheat oven to 400 then cut 3 red peppers in half and dig out the ribs.  Put the red peppers in a baking pan and drizzle with olive oil.  Roast the peppers until they are ALMOST soft. 

While the peppers are roasting, make 1 bag of yellow rice and add 1 can rinsed and drained black beans..  I found this at Wal-Mart, so I think you can get it anywhere.  It has lots of good seasonings in it and is really easy!  After the rice is done, I added some salsa verde (maybe 1/2 cup) and about a cup of cheddar cheese. 

Once the peppers are almost done, take them out.  Mine filled with water a little bit, so I poured the water out, then filled the peppers with the rice mixture.  I had about a cup or so left after I filled all of the peppers.  I topped with rice with some more cheddar and put them back in the oven until the cheese was melted. 

When we ate them, I topped mine with a little more salsa and some sour cream, but they are good plain too.  A very delicious lenten meal!
