Instructions
Preheat oven to 350.
In a large skillet brown and onions your meat. I used a 90/10 mix so there’s no fat to drain off. If you have some, drain it.
Add in tomatoes and corn. Cook until warm, 3-4 minutes.
Stir in tomato sauce, black beans, basil, cilantro, sugar, cumin and cayenne pepper.
Taste your mixture and adjust seasonings according to your families taste buds.
Stir in the cooked rice until all the ingredients are incorporated.
Cut the top of the green pepper straight across.
Remove the seeds.
Using a large spoon place 3-4 spoonfuls of the mixture into the pepper.
Place your cheese on top of the pepper and place in the oven.
Cook for about 20-30 minutes. You want the cheese to be bubbly and a nice golden brown and the pepper to be soft. The skin will begin to peel from the pepper.
Serve with a salad and fruit for a complete meal your family will enjoy.
