MY OWN SLOW COOKER STUFFED BELL PEPPERS



My Own Slow Cooker Stuffed Bell Peppers image

I began making these about 22 years ago when a friend in nursing school with me used to feed me regularly and everyone loved her stuffed peppers. Prior to that the taste of a cooked green pepper made me RUN! I have, over the years, adapted her recipe into something entirely different though very loveable! You can use red peppers as well though my favorite is green. These are a comfort staple for me and very nutritious. They are wonderful to make and freeze as well. The chili sauce called for is the regular bottled type used often to make cocktail meatballs. I am posting this as my mother asked me for my recipe tonight. So mom, just hang on until it is posted! c./2007

Time 7h20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 green peppers
1 lb extra lean ground beef, I prefer 90% lean
3/4 cup long grain white rice, raw
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (14 ounce) can original stewed tomatoes, chopped
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can tomato soup
1/2-3/4 cup chili sauce
1/2-1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh black pepper

Steps:

  • Wash peppers, cut tops off and remove core. Drain and chop stewed tomatoes, reserving liquid.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine ground beef, rice, onion, garlic, 1/2 of the chopped stewed drained tomatoes, salt and pepper.
  • Stuff peppers with this mixture and sit in the crockpot standing up. Trim bottoms of any especially wonky peppers though they should stand and up packed nicely.
  • Combine tomato soup, chili sauce, the rest of the chopped tomatoes and reserved stewed tomato liquid. Check the consistency as you may not need all of the reserved tomato liquid.
  • Pour sauce over peppers.
  • Cook on low 6-8 hours or until tender. This can take less or more time as crockpots differ wildly.

SLOW COOKER STUFFED BELL PEPPERS (FOR 2)



Slow Cooker Stuffed Bell Peppers (For 2) image

Growing up My aunt used to serve stuffed peppers in the frozen box. They were good, but I have been looking for a good homemade recipe, that would knock my socks off. I found several that seem ok and none that totally had what I was seeking. I decided to play around with it. Remember that stuffed peppers is basically leftover meatloaf, stuffed into a pepper. Since it's just me and my boyfriend, I have this as a recipe for two, but it can easily be updated for more. Enjoy.

Perfect every time. No more crunchy rice or burnt peppers in this house. My husband does not like cabbage rolls so I never have them, but this is VERY similar flavor and texture and he loves them.

SLOW COOKER STUFFED RED BELL PEPPERS



Slow Cooker Stuffed Red Bell Peppers image

My wife is not a real fan of green peppers. Using red peppers tones down that nice little bite that the green peppers gives this classic dish. A great easy make ahead the night before recipe for a cold Florida night dinner.... making this the next time I'd use one red and one green pepper for just a bit more flavor...

Time 5h30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb ground chuck, browned (80/20)
2 red peppers, par boiled
1/2 cup yellow onion, chopped to your liking... medium for me
1 -2 garlic clove, minced
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can stewed tomatoes, chopped

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup Minute Rice, uncooked
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated 1 (8 ounce)

Steps:

  • Wash and cut the tops off of the peppers and remove seeds. Core out the stem from the top for use as a base for the peppers.
  • Bring a pot of water enough to to cover peppers to a boil. Add peppers including tops and blanch for 2 to 3 minutes, drain and let cool.
  • Brown the ground chuck and ground pork together in a skillet, drain and set aside.
  • Combine all the ingredients except the peppers in a large bowl.
  • Place the pepper tops in the bottom of the slow cooker, cut side down. Fill the peppers with the tomato rice mixture. There will some left over, and set peppers onto the tops. Pour the remaining tomato rice mixture around the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • Sprinkle with the parmesan cheese or bread crumbs. If you need a little more liquid I use tomato juice as needed.
