Bean and Rice Stuffed Red Bell Peppers - Crock Pot
"Delicious and simple, make-ahead vegetarian meal. This was made for our Father's Day dinner this year. My father LOVES stuffed peppers, so my mother made this meatless version so I could eat them too! Cook time depends on the heat level setting of your crock pot."

These were really tasty and smelled amazing in the oven (I didn't use a crockpot). I used Original Rotel tomatoes and they were too spicy for my young son, so next time I'll look for mild. I doubled the recipe and filled six medium-large peppers. I used a cheddar-jack cheese, but in the future will use all cheddar b/c I couldn't taste the cheese all that much. I'll definitely be making this again with those slight modifications. Thanks for a keeper! -
Didn't have enough filling so I added a can of black beans (rinsed), another 1/2 cup or so of rice and 1/2 cup of salsa. Used a Southwest style vegetarian chili. We like our peppers really, really filled! One of our favorites. -
Very good but I only had enough filling for 4 peppers -- maybe I overfilled them! I also added some cooked ham to the crockpot for the meat eaters. Thanks for sharing! -
This Is Recipe is AWESOME!! Thanks For Posting, I was really looking for use for som chili leftovers and it worked Great! **A Little Suggestion: My mom said that it is better to heat some water and put the pepper in therefor 5 min. and then remove the inside stuff. That way u don't have to put them in the oven for 3 HOURS!!, And after u boil them u peel the skin out and just fill in and heat in the oven for like 30 min. **** -
Easy to make and delicious to eat!
