We’re swapping tortillas for hearty and nutritious peppers in this delicious family-friendly dish. A blend of spiced (but not spicy) beef, cheese, beans, and corn are mixed together and then stuffed into bell peppers before slow cooking for 3 hours. If you would like to schedule this meal, but don’t want to wait for the broiler to cool before refrigerating, saute all the ingredients in Step 2 in a small skillet over medium heat for 8 minutes before proceeding with the recipe.
