Stuffed Peppers

These are the peppers I made last night. No measurements, as I did it all by look.

Stuffed Peppers

2 bell peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded
1 bag Uncle Ben's boil-in-bag Brown rice, cooked
2 cups ground beef, cooked
1 can stewed tomatoes, with juices
8 baby carrots, diced
1/2 can black beans, drained and rinsed
garlic powder
shredded cheddar, if desired
In a saucepan mix the tomatoes, carrots, beans, and garlic powder and simmer for 5 minutes on medium. Stir in the beef and rice and cheddar cheese if desired. Place peppers cut-side up in a baking dish, spoon filling into them- filling to overflowing. Bake at 350 for 45-60 minutes, depending on how soft you like your peppers.
