Recipe: Chipotle stuffed peppers

Ingredients
1/2 lb. 93% lean ground beef
1 (15 oz.) can black beans, drained and rinsed
2 large handfuls of fresh spinach
1 (15 oz.) can petite diced tomatoes with chipotle seasoning
4 large green peppers (You can use any color you like, though.)
1/2 instant brown rice
Cooking spray
Salt, pepper to taste

In a small saucepan, bring 1/2 cup water to a boil. Add rice. Cover and remove from heat. Spray a nonstick frying pan with cooking spray and add ground beef. Once brown, reduce heat to low and add black beans and spinach. After spinach wilts, add tomatoes and cooked rice. Meanwhile, remove tops of peppers and clean out seeds inside. Place in a square baking dish and sprinkle insides with salt and pepper. Fill each one with 1/4 of ground beef mixture. Cover with foil. Bake at 350 degrees until green peppers are tender (about 30 minutes). Makes 4 servings.

Note: I added a little mozzarella cheese before serving. Also, if I make these again, I'll probably kick up the heat a little with some extra chipotle seasoning or maybe a diced jalapeno pepper. Finally, if you aren't counting calories as closely as I am, I'd definitely recommend a scoop of sour cream.
