Slow Cooker Stuffed Peppers
These colorful little packets of joy are perfect for a cozy dinner or impressing your friends at parties. Just look at them! Talk about a dish that can make you feel like a culinary wizard!
Ingredients:
- 4 large bell peppers (any color will do, but the rainbow looks better)
- 1 pound ground turkey or beef (or maybe tofu if you’re feeling fancy)
- 1 cup cooked rice (who doesn’t love carbs?)
- 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh, the choice is yours)
- 1 small onion, diced (tears are optional)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (because garlic is life)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or whatever herb tickles your fancy)
- Salt and pepper to taste (because bland is not a flavor)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (because cheese makes everything better)
Instructions:
- First things first, let’s get those peppers ready! Slice the tops off and remove the seeds. They need to look great walking down that slow cooker runway!
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground meat until browned. Add the onions and garlic, and sauté until they’re fragrant and wonderfully translucent. Smelling all the cooking magic yet?
- Mix in the cooked rice, diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir it together like you’re conducting an orchestra of deliciousness.
- Now, stuff those peppers! Fill each bell pepper with a generous amount of the meat mixture, making sure not to be stingy. No one likes a half-stuffed pepper!
- Place the stuffed peppers upright in your slow cooker. If they’re feeling wobbly, don’t worry! They can lean on each other for support.
- Cover and cook on low for about 6 hours or until the peppers are tender. During this time, you can binge-watch your favorite show or practice your victory dance.
- Right before serving, top them with the shredded cheese and let it melt. Just try not to drool all over the kitchen floor!
And there you have it! A delightful dish that is sure to brighten any dinner table. These Slow Cooker Stuffed Peppers are not just food; they’re a party for your mouth! Enjoy!
