Crock Pot Stuffed Peppers Recipes

Steps:

• Spray 6-quart oval slow cooker with cooking spray. Trim tops off bell peppers; remove ribs and seeds. Set aside.
• In 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, cook beef, onions, salt and pepper 8 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until beef is cooked through and onion softens. Add garlic; cook 15 seconds. Drain.
• Stir rice and 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce into beef mixture in skillet; mix to combine. Stir in 1 cup of the cheese. Stuff peppers with beef mixture; arrange in slow cooker. Pour remaining tomato sauce over peppers.
• Cover; cook on Low heat setting 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 hours or until peppers are soft. Top peppers with remaining 1 cup cheese. Cover; cook 3 to 8 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Use slotted spoon to lift peppers from slow cooker.

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease.
• Mix ground beef, tomatoes, rice, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper together in a bowl. Stuff each green bell pepper with ground beef mixture.
• Arrange stuffed bell peppers in the crock of a slow cooker; place the reserved tops back onto each bell pepper. Pour water around the base of each stuffed bell pepper.
• Cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours.

Steps:

• Trim about 1/8 inch from the bottom of each pepper so it can stand upright. Cut the top 1/4 inch off each pepper. Remove and discard the stems, then finely chop the remaining flesh from the tops and set aside. Scoop out and discard the seeds and as much of the membranes as you can from inside the peppers.
• Mix the reserved chopped pepper with the ground beef, tomatoes and their juices, 1 cup of the cheese, cooked rice, garlic, 3 of the scallions, chili powder, cumin, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and several grinds of black pepper in a large bowl with your hands until combined. Dividing evenly, spoon the filling into the hollowed-out peppers, packing it in (the filling will mound a bit above the tops).
• Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker, then add the stuffed peppers. Season the top of each pepper with another pinch of salt. Cover and cook on high until the peppers are tender and the ground beef is cooked through, for 3 to 3 1/2 hours. Top with the remaining 1 cup cheese, cover and cook on high for 10 minutes more to melt the cheese. Sprinkle the peppers with the remaining scallions and add a dollop of sour cream to each.

Steps:

• Cut and discard tops from peppers; remove seeds. In a large bowl, mix beans, cheese, salsa, onion, corn, rice, chili powder and cumin; spoon into peppers. Place in a 5-qt. slow cooker coated with cooking spray., Cook, covered, on low until peppers are tender and filling is heated through, 3-4 hours . If desired, serve with sour cream.

Steps:

• Cut the tops of the peppers, cut below the stem crown, don't toss the tops yet.
• Cut around the stem, and chop the pepper part into small peaces.
• Remove the seeds from the peppers.
• In large frying pan brown hamburger, onion, mushrooms, and small chopped pepper from the stem. When browned, drain grease, add rice, and one half of the sauce.
• Heat, and stir till it is hot again, and it is mixed well.
• Put filling in green peppers (I pack it, but that is up to you).
• Cover the peppers with around one table spoon, or more of sauce. Dump the rest into the crock pot. Cover, and cook on low for 8 hours.
• Side note, the crock pot I use is 10" across, and 4" deep. The small, deep crock pots wont work.
• You can also make it this way, and cook it in the oven.

Steps:

• Cut tops from peppers and remove seeds, rinse and set aside.
• In a large fry pan or skillet cook hamburger and Italian sausage until browned, drain.
• Add chopped onion and cook until translucent.
• Remove from heat and add remaining ingredients. Mix well.
• Stuff filling into bell peppers: place into crock pot in an upright position. Peppers can be overstuffed. And leftover filling can either be frozen and used later or placed in and around peppers in crock pot.
• Cook on low setting about 7 hours or on high setting for about 3.5 hours.
• Can also be baked instead: place into a 8X12 baking dish and back covered at 350F degrees for 45 mins and uncovered for 15 mins or until browned as desired.
• Top with desired amount of shredded Swiss cheese when serving.
• Substitutions: Use Quinoa in place of rice. Use 6 to 8 med plum tomatoes in place of canned dice tomatoes. (may need to add liquid in this case.) Use 1 Tblsp of fresh chopped garlic in place of garlic salt.
