Today's recipe is so easy, tasty, healthy, and economical I think it deserves a parade!
This because I've been loving easy vegetarian meals I can turn to once or twice a week - guaranteeing we're eating a wider variety of vegetables, trying new ingredients, and saving money.
But if someone had told me the magic that's created in a slow cooker with re-fried beans, quinoa, cheese, and salsa I never would have believed it!
The quinoa gets mixed together with a few other ingredients, is stuffed into peppers, and cooked on low for 6 hours resulting in oodles of cheesy, tomato, deliciousness and mounds of nutrition! Better still, the quinoa is super filling and the entire easy meal will leave you feeling great and coming back for more.
This is a healthy, and very delicious vegetarian meal, so if you try it, let me know! As well, be sure to subscribe to follow this blog, and follow me on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and Youtube.
