INgredients:

• 6-8 large bell peppers, any color
• 1 pound beer-braised beef brisket, chopped
• 14 ounce can reduced sodium black beans, drained and rinsed
• 14 ounce can fire-roasted diced tomatoes, with juices
• 3 cups cooked brown rice (can substitute 3 cups raw cauliflower rice)
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 1/4 cup shredded pepper jack cheese (for milder flavor use Monterey jack or cheddar)
• Toppings: avocado, chopped cilantro, salsa, sour cream, lime wedges

Directions:

1. Slice the tops off of the bell peppers, cutting as close to the top as possible. Carefully remove pepper ribs and seeds.
2. In large mixing bowl combine chopped brisket, black beans, tomatoes, rice, seasonings and 3/4 cup of cheese. Mix filling ingredients completely.
3. Spoon brisket mixture into the bell peppers, filling all the way to the top.
4. Pour 1/2 cup beef broth or water into an empty 5-quart slow cooker. Arrange peppers in the slow cooker so they stand up and have equal spacing. Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 2 hours, or until the peppers are tender. Remove lid and sprinkle with remaining cheese, replace cover and let heat for 15 minutes until cheese is melted.
5. Serve peppers hot, with desired toppings.
