MY OWN SLOW COOKER STUFFED BELL PEPPERS
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

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)
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.

SLOW COOKER STUFFED BELL PEPPERS
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
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...

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.

- 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.
