Meatless Stuffed Peppers

As a newly inspiring vegetarian I sometimes find it difficult to make meatless meals when we are camping. My go to meals used to include hot dogs, hamburgers, and chicken. But no longer I am on a mission to eliminate meat from my families life and I have found some wonderful recipes that you won’t even notice that there is no meat included. One of my favorite new dishes that is simple to do over the fire is stuffed peppers. All you need is…..

• 6 large sweet peppers
• 2 cups cooked brown rice
• 3 small tomatoes, chopped
• 1 cup frozen corn, thawed
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1/2 can of red beans, rinsed and drained
• 3/4 cup of cubed monterey jack cheese
• 3 garlic cloves minced
• 3/4 cup meatless spaghetti sauce
• parmesan cheese

Simply cut off the tops of the peppers and remove seeds. In a large bowl combine all ingredients and scoop back into the peppers. Sprinkle some extra cheese over the top of the peppers and reapply the pepper lids. Wrap the entire pepper in aluminum foil and place above the fire to cook. Check often to see if pepper is becoming soft. Once cooked remove and let cool.

Before we head out on an RV trip I mix up this stuffing mix and keep it frozen until ready to use! My family loves it and no one seems to miss the meat!
