Pork and Beans Stuffed peppers





4 bell peppers
3 tbspn olive ok
s/p
1/4 lb canadian bacon (except i couldn't find this so i used regular bacon)
3 cloves garlic
1 tsp dried oregano
one 15 oz can cannellini beans, rinsed
2 tomatoes, chopped
4 oz mozz cheese, shredded
1/2 c bread crumbs

1. preheat oven to 350. rub the peppers with 2 tbspn olive oil, season with s/p. stand in baking dish cover with the tops and roast for 30 minutes

2. meanwhile, in medium skillet, heat 1/2 tbspn olive oil over med heat. add bacon and cook until browned. (since i used regular bacon i just chopped it while raw and cooked it up until browned). transfer bacon to bowl. heat remaining 1/2 tbspn olive oil (i didin't do this since i had bacon grease already in the pan, i just poured all but about a tbspn off) cook garlic and oregano in oil until fragrant. stir in the bacon along with the beans, tomatoes, breadcrumbs, and mozz cheese. season with s/p if needed.

3. fill peppers with bean mixture. return to oven and heat through about 15 minutes.
