Ingredients
  

  • 4 bell peppers , cut in half and seeds removed
  • 1 (14oz) can black beans , rinsed and drained
  • 1 (14oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 3/4 cup uncooked brown rice
  • 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1/2 yellow onion , finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic , finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup vegan mozzarella
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a medium sized pot, combine the rice and broth, cover with a lid, and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down to medium-low and let it simmer for about 40 minutes. If using a different type of rice, cook according to package instructions.
  • Spray a large baking dish (I used 9x13 glass dish) with cooking spray. Lay the bell peppers cut side up inside the dish and then spray the tops of the peppers with the cooking spray. Bake them at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes. This just par-bakes them and gets them ready for the filling later on. After the 10 minutes, remove from the oven and set aside.
  • While the rice cooks, prepare the rest of the filling. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Then add the chopped onion, stir, and let it cook for 2-3 minutes. Once the onion starts to soften, add the garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Next, add the corn and cook for 1-2 minutes. Once the corn starts to soften, add the beans, tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir frequently for 2-3 minutes, until the mixture is warmed through.
  • When the rice is done cooking, stir the rice into the bean mixture and remove from the heat.
  • Spoon the filling into the peppers, filling them all the way up. Top with a sprinkle of vegan mozzarella and cover the baking dish with foil. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for another 5-10 minutes to brown the top.
  • Serve with sour cream, guacamole, or any of your favorite toppings!
