Stuffed Peppers

This is the other recipe we got from our cooking gurus (okay, maybe not gurus, but at least pretty cool dudes) that we didn't write down.
A lot of the stuffed pepper recipes I've seen use tomato sauce and the photos just look runny and awful!
We didn't follow and exact recipe either because I wanted to get a bit creative, and didn't want to take the time to reconcile 15 different recipes.
I made some rice, and added some spices. Taco seasoning (the stuff ortega/tacobell/whatever sells to add to your taco meat) some cumin, and general mexican spices. I know, this is totally not helpful if you want to make this - but one of the best ways to become a better cook is EXPERIMENT!

We added some black beans to the fully cooked rice, stuffed the peppers and cooked for ~30 minutes.
And as always with any good western world recipe - TOP WITH CHEESE!!!

The peppers being cooked brought out a great flavor of the peppers. We made a yellow and red pepper, because I don't really care for green.
I would use green ones, even though they aren't my favorite most of the time, but peppers were in season and the better ones were especially cheap.

Then, for left overs, we used the rice bean mixture on top of some already cut better and microwaved it.

They were definitely good, but we need to work on the exact spices.
