2 cups water
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tbsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. nutritional yeast (optional)
1/4 to 1/2 tsp. salt (to taste)
Dash of black pepper
1 tbsp. olive oil

2. Cut the tops off of the red peppers. Remove the seeds.

3. Add about 1/3 cup of the bread, 1/4 cup of the beans, 1 tbsp. of the onion, and 1 tsp. of the Better than Cream Cheese to the inside of each red pepper.

4. Which the water, salt, oregano, nutritional yeast, pepper, and red wine vinegar in a medium bowl.

Other Ideas:

❤ Add steamed spinach to the peppers (I originally planned on this, but completely forgot).
❤ Add whatever herbs you have: parsley, basil, even thyme would go really well with this recipe.
❤ Substitute cashew cream for Better Than Cream Cheese.
❤ Use rice or quinoa instead of the bread as stuffing.
