Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large bell peppers (preferably red, yellow, or orange for color)
  • 1 lb ground beef or turkey
  • 1 cup cooked rice (or cauliflower rice for a healthier option)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped

  4. Stuff each bell pepper with the meat and rice mixture.
  5. Place the stuffed peppers upright in the crockpot, then sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours until peppers are tender and cheese is melted.
  7. Remove from crockpot, garnish with herbs, and serve hot with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • Use large bell peppers to comfortably hold the stuffing.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute ground meat with black beans, lentils, or plant-based protein.
