Slow Cooker Rice Stuffed Bell Peppers. Filling and flavorful.
I absolutely adore stuffed peppers. You can fill them with just about anything your heart desires. This version is vegetarian and the bell peppers are stuffed with rice, beans, cheese and seasonings. The bell peppers cook low and slow all day in the slow cooker and come out completely fork tender.
The amount of peppers you’ll need for the recipe will be determined by the size of your bell peppers. I like to arrange the bell peppers in my slow cooker insert prior to starting (like a puzzle) just to check fit.
What Color Bell Peppers Can I Use ?
You can choose any color bell peppers you like. I prefer the brightly colored Red, Orange, and Yellow bell peppers. They’re on the sweeter side. Green bell peppers are bell peppers that are harvested much earlier than the brightly colored peppers and tend to be slightly bitter to me. You do you.
