Stuffed Peppers

I made stuffed peppers last night for dinner. Shane= not loving it. He didn't eat a pepper but he did eat some of the stuffing part. (again= not loving it, but he did eat it!) Me? Love. I could have eaten a lot of it.

Ingredients-

3/4 lb lean ground beef, browned (I used the whole pound)
1 small pkg frozen corn (I think I had a med/large package so I used half)
1 1/2 cup salsa
1 1/2 cup cooked brown rice (we had white so I used it, need to get some brown!)
1 c. shredded cheddar/jack cheese
one of each- red, yellow, green pepper, tops cut off and seeds cleaned out

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Brown meat and drain. Put back in pan. Add corn and salsa and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in rice and 1/2 cup cheese and spoon into peppers. Pour 1/2 cup water int0 13x9 baking dish and add peppers. Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese and bake with foil off for 5 more.

This makes a lot of "stuffing" so you can add more peppers or just eat it as is. I love it!
