Found this on the Ladies Home Journal website and it is delicious. Thought I would share. I've made it with Rice-a-Roni brand flavored rices too but vegetarians have to watch the ingredients for chicken broth powder. I also used green peppers instead of red or yellow.

Whip up this quick vegetarian dinner with roasted bell peppers, prepared rice pilaf mix, zucchini and canned black beans. Shredded Mexican cheese blend makes the filling extra delicious.
Prep time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 25 to 30 minutes
Degree of difficulty: easy
4 large yellow or red bell peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 box (6.75 oz.) Near East Spanish Rice Pilaf
1 cup diced zucchini
1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
1 bag (8 oz.) four-cheese Mexican shredded cheese blend, divided
1. Arrange oven racks in top and bottom third of oven. Heat oven to 450 degrees F.
2. Line a large jelly-roll pan with foil. Brush outside of pepper halves with oil. Arrange peppers cut side up on prepared pan; roast peppers on lower rack 15 to 20 minutes.
