Ingredients

3 large red bell peppers1/2 cup instant rice (try brown rice!)1 cup shredded cheddar1 cup salsa1 15-oz can black beans, rinsed and drained1 pinch red pepper flakes6 oz. salsa verde or green enchilada sauce

Directions

Cut tops off peppers, removing seeds & membranes. I often take a little off the bottom of each pepper so that it will stand in the crock. I also spray the crock with olive oil spray. In a medium sized bowl, stir together rice, cheddar, salsa, beans and red pepper flakes. After placing the peppers in the crock, stuff each with 1/3 of the mixture. Cook on high for 3-4 hours. Remove lid, top each pepper with equal parts of the salsa verde, cook for an additional 30-40 minutes. Serve.
