This quick and easy vegetarian slow cooker dish can be made from ingredients you probably have on hand already.  It’s a filling and low-calorie dish that will probably please even your pickiest of eaters.

1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained

2 Tablespoons chopped bottled roasted red bell peppers
1 1/2 cups (6-ounces) shredded reduced-fat Mexican blend or Cheddar cheese
6 Tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream
1 1/2 teaspoons thinly sliced fresh cilantro

Place 2 tablespoons green chiles and next 6 ingredients in a 3 1/2-quart electric slow cooker, stir well.  Cover and cook on LOW 4 hours. 

Combine remaining 1 tablespoon green chiles, egg substitute, muffin mix and roasted red bell peppers in a bowl .  Spoon batter evenly over bean mixture in cooker.  Cover and cook 1 hour or until cornbread is done.

Sprinkle cheese over cornbread.  Cover and cook 5 minutes or until cheese melts.  Top each serving with sour cream; sprinkle with cilantro. 

Makes 6 servings.  Each serving is approximately 366 calories.

Can you tell that we like black beans at our house:)
