Ingredients

• 2 large green peppers, sliced in half and de-seeded
• 1 large or 2 small sweet potatoes, skinned and chopped
• 2 large cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
• 1 very small onion, coarsely chopped
• 1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed well
• Black pepper -- to taste
• 1/4 cup apple cider
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Directions

1. Set your oven to broil. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and place your green pepper halves on it — cut side down. Broil for 10 to 15 minutes, until browned on tops and softened.

2. In a large pan over medium-high heat, toss in your olive oil and sweet potato chunks. Cook for a few minutes and then stir in the apple cider, black pepper, garlic, and onions. Cover and lower heat just a bit — 5 minutes. You want them to get slightly blackened on the bottoms.

3. Add more oil to the pan if it’s dry, but then add black beans. Cook for another 5 (or so) minutes until everything is softened. Test the sweet potatoes especially.

4. Your green peppers should be cooled by now, flip them over so the cut side is up. Then fill each with a generous scoop of the sweet potato mixture. Top with cheddar cheese if you wish. Then place in oven — which should still be on broil — and cook until cheese is brown and bubbly.

5. Let cool to warm before serving.
