I pulled out ground meat and had no idea what I would do. Then I saw the silly cow cheese when I went shopping remembered the re-fried beans in the pantry and an idea just popped in my head. Mom and Hubby praised the meal big time, and hubby said he thought it was a real keeper.

    Add 1 wedge Laughing Cow cheese per pepper or pepper half , on top of the beans.( use your fingers to spread)
