    MAKES: 4 servings
    Prep: 15 min. - Cook: 3 hours

    My favorite kitchen appliance is the slow-cooker, and I use mine more than anyone else I know. It does a great job with this good-for-you dish. —Michelle Gurnsey, Lincoln, Nebraska

    Ingredients:
    4 medium sweet red peppers
    1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
    1 cup (4 ounces) shredded pepper jack cheese
    3/4 cup salsa
    1 small onion, chopped
    1/2 cup frozen corn
    1/3 cup uncooked converted long grain rice
    1-1/4 teaspoons chili powder
    1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
    Reduced-fat sour cream, optional

    Directions:
    1. Cut and discard tops from peppers; remove seeds. In a large bowl, mix beans, cheese, salsa, onion, corn, rice, chili powder and cumin; spoon into peppers. Place in a 5-qt. slow cooker coated with cooking spray.

    2. Cook, covered, on low 3-4 hours or until peppers are tender and filling is heated through. If desired, serve with sour cream.
