Melanie's Notes:

I am on a mission to loose weight this year. I am trying to eat more produce and less processed foods. This is what I came up with for dinner tonight.

Directions

Cook rice per directions on package.

Add the rest of the ingredients to a sauce pan. Heat until warmed through. You will want to judge the amount of liquid from the tomatoes you use. The mushrooms with soften in the liquid. You don't want soup, but you don't want a dry mixture either.

Add in the rice.

Cut the tops off your whole bell peppers and stuff. I crumpled foil in the bottom of my pan to help the peppers stay upright. Bake for about 45 minutes at 350.

Melanie: In the New Year, I am going to try to do "Meatless Monday" dinners, and also one other night per week vegetarian... this sounds like a great recipe to start off with. Thanks for posting. Happy New Year!

Thanks, Sher. They sure were tasty. I had this idea rattling around in my head all day. It would be easy enough to add shredded chicken or ground beef in place of some or all of the beans. I was very satisfied with the rice and beans. I also made some Guacamole MMB
