Ingredients

6 sweet bell peppers
(any color, I like to choose at least one of each color!)
2 cups quinoa
3 tomatoes
diced (or 12 ounces can of diced tomatoes)
1 cup corn
1 sweet vidalia onions
½ cup red beans
cooked, or canned
½ cup black beans
cooked, or canned
¾ cup monterey jack cheese
cubed
*
1 can black olives
canned
*
4 basil
leaves
*
3 cloves garlic
(minced)
1 teaspoon salt
¾ cup spaghetti sauce
½ cup water
4 tablespoons Parmesan cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 375F.

Cook quinoa according to package instructions. (Usually entails placing quinoa with 4C of water in a pot, and bring it to a boil. Then simmer quinoa, until water is absorbed. I used chicken or vegetable broth sometimes for flavor!)

Add all ingredients (except water and spaghetti sauce) in a bowl; mix. Add cubed cheese last.

Add water and sauce together, and pour over the quinoa mix (BUT: save about ½ cup of mixture for the end of the recipe).

Boil each bell pepper for 3 minutes (after de-seeding).

When done boiling, sprinkle each pepper inside with a touch of salt, and turn over to drain.

Stuff each bell pepper with quinoa mix.

Top each bell pepper with some of the leftover water/sauce mixture and top with parmesan cheese (or other cheeses that you have in the fridge are good, too!)

Bake for about 15 minutes.

ENJOY!!!

Substitute roasted poblano a instead of green peppers if you like spicier food. I have also added olives to the stuffing.
