Slow Cooker Stuffed Peppers--Vegetarian Style!

My friend Renae gave me this recipe and we've had it two or three times this year. We love love love it!

Slow Cooker Stuffed Peppers
4 large sweet red peppers (we've also used green)--rinsed well
1 15 oz can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 c. shredded pepper jack cheese (or plain jack if desired)
3/4 c. salsa
1 small onion chopped
1/2 cup corn (canned or frozen)
3/4-1 c. cooked rice (we always use our wild rice blend on these)
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin

Cut tops off peppers and remove seeds. Set aside. In a large bowl combine beans, cheese, salsa, onion, corn, rice, and spices. Spoon the mixture into the peppers. Place in a 4 or 5 quart slow cooker coated with cooking spray.

Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours or until peppers are tender and filling is heated through. Serve with sour cream if desired.
