Heat oil in a large skillet, add onion and cook over medium heat until soft. Add garlic and beef, cook beef until no longer pink, breaking up meat with a spoon. Add tomatoes, basil, oregano, chilli mix, salt and pepper, reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes. In a large bowl, combine rice, beans and corn. Add meat mixture and 1 cup of cheese, mix to combine. Spoon stuffing into peppers and place in a baking dish. Add 1/4 cup water to the bottom of the dish, cover with foil and bake 30-40 minutes or until peppers are tender. Remove foil, top with remaining cheese and bake until cheese is melted. * NOTES: I used a small can of Green Giant Mexi-Corn to good effect. I also used a fairly spicy jarred red enchilada sauce instead of the traditional "red gravy" (marinara). - UDD From: http://www.food.com Uncle Dirty Dave's Kitchen MMMMM ....
