Vegetarian Stuffed Peppers

This is one of my family's favorite meals! It's a very simple and to the point recipe...so let's get to it! 
Ingredients:
2C Cooked Brown Rice 
3 Medium Tomatoes, Chopped
1C Frozen or Canned Corn
1 Small Onion, Chopped
1/2 Can Black Beans (reduced sodium), Rinsed & Drained 
1/2 Can Red Beans, Rinsed & Drained
1C Monterey Jack, Cubed 
1 Can (4oz) Chopped Olives
4 Fresh Basil Leaves, Finely Chopped
3 Garlic Cloves, Grated 
Pinch of Salt & Pepper
8 Sweet Bell Peppers
2C Marinara Sauce 
3/4C Water 
If i'm in the kitchen there is no doubt that Princess Addalie is right behind me helping out!

Start off by chopping off the tops of the peppers and spooning out the seeds, if you like a milder pepper like me. Prepare and combine the first 11 ingredients into a large bowl. Now stuff those peppers!

Mix the marinara sauce and water together and place half into the bottom of the crock pot. Place the fully stuffed peppers in and top with a sprinkle of parmesan and remaining sauce. Cook on high for 3 hours.
Simple & healthy. Couldn't ask for more!
