Ingredients


454 gm Beef, ground, extra lean
1 can (15oz) Black beans, canned (drained, rinsed)
1 dash Black pepper
1 1/2 cup, crumbled Goat feta cheese (divided)
1/2 tsp Chili powder (optional)
2 tbsp Cilantro (coriander) (chopped)
1 tsp Cumin
1 pinch Kosher salt
3 medium pepper(s) Red bell pepper (stemmed, seeded)
1 1/2 cup Quinoa, cooked
3 medium pepper(s) Yellow bell pepper (stemmed, seeded)

Instructions


Lightly coat the inside of a 6-qt slow cooker with nonstick spray.


In a large bowl, combine beef, rice, 1 cup cheese, black beans, corn, salsa, cilantro, cumin and chili powder; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Spoon the filling into each bell pepper cavity.


Place peppers into the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low heat for 5-6 hours or high for 2-3 hours, or until the peppers are tender and the beef is cooked through.


Uncover and top with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.


Serve immediately, drizzled with sour cream, if desired.


Enjoy!
