Couscous Stuffed Peppers

1 package couscous (I use parmesan)
3 green peppers
1/2 cup of shredded carrots
1/2 cup broccoli, chopped fine
1/2 cup grape tomatoes, sliced
1/2 cup real bacon bits, optional
1/2 cup parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Cook couscous according to package directions. Cut tops and remove white membranes and seeds from green peppers. If peppers will not stand up-right, slice a small amount off the bottom (being careful not to make a hole) so they are level.

Put vegetables (excpet tomatoes) into a microwave-safe bowl. Add 3 tablespoons of water and microwave for 2 minutes, until crisp-tender.

Mix all ingredients together and fill peppers with filling. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the green pepper begins to soften.
