If you ask me I can tell you 101 ways to stuff a pepper/mushroom or any veggies for that matter. I am a big fan of stuffed delicacies mainly because they look so elegant with minimal effort and you simply can't go wrong with the flavor.To top it they are crowd-pleasers. I had a pack of frozen corn kernels, Lima beans in the freezer and I decided to make do with instead of black beans, which I normally make use of in this recipe. I was pleasantly surprised with the way they turned out and I will certainly be making this version again.
Ingredients:

- Add the thawed corn kernels, lima beans, broth to the skillet.
- Cook the mixture in skillet with salt and pepper for 3-4 minutes on low flame with lid on.

- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Coat the prepared sweet peppers with a tbsp of oil.
- Stuff the slightly cooled mixture into the peppers and line them up straight inside a mini-bread-loaf pan.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes until the tops are slightly crusty and the body of the pepper is wrinkled.
- Let the peppers rest for 5 minutes prior to consuming.

- Peppers can be vertically halved and stuffed than baking straight-up
