Vegetarian Stuffed Peppers

Vegetarian Stuffed Peppers with Congresswoman Gwen Moore –  Vegetarian stuffed peppers, baked twice and filled with a cheesy taco-seasoned, bean-and-rice mixture, are an easy, healthy meal.

Our guest on Cooking with Milwaukee Community Leaders is Rep Gwen Moore, our Congresswoman from Milwaukee (WI-4). She is a 10-term congresswoman, the first African American and second woman elected to Congress from Wisconsin. She shows us how she makes these Vegetarian Stuffed Peppers.

Vegetarian Stuffed Peppers

Cooking one food, a beany rice-and-cheese filling inside of another food (bell peppers) is easy. Bell peppers are already hollow, thus it is an edible bowl made for stuffing.

These vegetarian stuffed peppers are meatless but are full of flavor. This is a great way to indulge your craving for Mexican food. They’re taco-seasoned and full with black beans and your choice of cheese on top.

These peppers can be prepared in advance. Pre-cook the rice and prep the peppers. Or put them together, then cover and refrigerate for later use.

Mexican Vegetarian Stuffed Peppers

Many stuffed peppers are made with Italian seasonings, like the ones I grew up with. But this recipe utilizes Mexican flavors and the filling is so tasty, you could eat it as a side dish.

Make sure you slice the peppers in half from the stem end down through the base. Then, par-roast the halves until they soften. Then they are ready to be stuffed.
