It's a warm, comforting meal for a cold January evening.

Preparation
Mix together the rice, salt, pepper, corn, onion, beans, tomatoes, and salsa in a large bowl.
Place the bell peppers, hollowed side up, into a slow cooker. If necessary, cut the bottoms of the peppers to make them flat so they stand up better.
Stuff peppers halfway with rice mixture. Sprinkle with half of the cheese.
Fill to the top with rice mixture and add the remaining cheese.
Pour the chicken stock into the bottom of the slow cooker.
Cook on high for 4 hours.
Enjoy!
