peppers filled with chili and cheese

Mexican stuffed peppers are quite possibly the easiest meal EVER!  3 ingredients and one of them is chili from a fast food restaurant??  So yeah, it’s pretty easy.  Not to mention its a lower carb recipe, so no guilt either.  The chili contains beans which are a good source of fiber and helps to maintain good blood glucose control.  These Mexican stuffed peppers could be served with a side salad or would be a great recipe to make for a snack or a party.
