Ingredients:
1 can (11 to 15 ounces) regular kernel corn or Mexican corn with peppers, drained
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
1/4 cup chunky salsa
1/4 cup chopped onions
1 1/2 cups cooked rice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend, divided, or use Cheddar or Monterey Jack
6 large green bell peppers, tops removed, seeded
Preparation:In a bowl combine ingredients, except 1/4 cup cheese and the bell peppers. Stuff peppers with mixture. Arrange bell peppers in slow cooker, stacking a few on top if necessary. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup cheese about 20 minutes before done. Makes 6 servings.This is the first dairy crockpot recipe I did. I used Colby Jack (because I bought the wrong thing) and shredded it myself. The prep for this took a bit more time than I like. I did not measure the Worcestershire sauce , pepper (white pepper) or salt. I put one pepper top back on the pepper to see what happens (thought my daughter might like the edible container). I use vegan Worcestershire sauce because my son is allergic to fish. The mix tasted good raw (I couldnt resist). I put it in the crockpot at noon. I wish I had prepared the rice the night before- that was annoying to get to and remember I had no cooked rice. I wonder if raw rice would cook from the juices. I also had to use creamy corn because I had no regular corn. So that it wouldnt be too soggy, I then drained the tomatoes.

These came out beautifully- really beautiful recipe. Next time I will take a photo to post.

My husband and I really enjoyed these. They are very good. I enjoy spicy and they were not as flavorful for me as they could have been. It may be that Monteray Jack would add more flavor. My husband LOVED these and asked me to make them again. I think my parents and in-laws would like these so I am sure I will revisit these soon.

My daughter of 4 took a couple of bites and decided she did NOT like it. She loved the look, but not the taste. My son , 1 1/2 ate a few beans and that's it.

So- this is a great adult recipe, but does not seem to be young kid friendly. My daughter was excited about the look of the recipe (I put the top of her green pepper back on in the crockpot,which made it fun) but not the taste. Older kids may enjoy this more.
