LOW Calorie stuffed peppers...

Rice and Cheese stuffed Peppers.....

First I cut two large bell peppers in half and take all the insides out....

Then I cooked some brown rice, I used minute rice or the store brand equivalent and set the rice aside when its finished....

I put my peppers in a pan... This was my first time making these so please do not do what I did... add something in the bottom of the pain like salsa or even tomato sauce.... do not cook them with nothing under them... they turned out ok but we needed to add a lot of salsa to them when they came out and they took a long time to cook through and the bottoms dried out in the process....

In a prep bowl I blended sharp cheddar and Mozzarella just a serving size of each and then added in my cooked rice... it melted the cheese some as I was mixing it all together...

Then I just spooned out the mix into each of the pepper halves and sprinkled a little cheese on top... and there you have...

Here is the calorie break down....each half is only 135 calories as is... add the salsa and it doesn't go up much since salsa is a low calorie food!!! 

Enjoy and if you have better ideas to how this could have gone better let me know... I just kind of went with it... I had no recipe just went in the kitchen and started to cook a little....
