"This is a great vegetarian stuffed pepper with lots of protein! Found this in my collection of vegetarian recipes probably from the Moosewood cookbook! Serve with your favorite hot sauce"

directions

In a skillet, cook the onions and garlic in the oil until the start to get soft. Add the tempeh and saute, sitrring often until it's browned. Add the tomatoes, corn, and seasonings. Cook until heated through. Mix in the cooked beans and soy sauce. Taste and add salt and pepper if desired.
Cut the peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Leave the stem on if you can (they hold their shape better).
Fill each pepper half with the stuffing and place in an oiled pan with the 1/2" of tomato juice or water in the bottom. Bake tightly covered at 375º for around 30-40 minutes.
Serve on a bed of ricetopped with hot sauce. Garnish with sour cream or shredded cheese.

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes: ? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again. ? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time. ? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK ? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all ? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
