Crock Pot Stuffed Bell Peppers


I’ve been asked about a recipe for stuffed bell peppers a lot, so I thought it was high time to share one. This recipe I’m sharing today is my favorite. They’re totally delicious and stuffed with all kinds of good things; beef, Mexican rice, enchilada sauce, cheese…. See, I told you they were yummy. 🙂  But I think the best thing about them is that they’re baked in the crock pot!   



  These stuffed peppers are melt in your mouth good! I served ours with just a simple side salad and it was one of the best dinners I’ve had in awhile. They’re certainly amazing as is, or you could customize your own by using chicken instead of beef, or exclude the meat and add more veggies/rice for a vegetarian version.  I think any way you make them, you will love!
