EASY Slow Cooker Stuffed Pepper Recipe!

This slow cooker stuffed pepper recipe was not only delicious but was so easy. It did not require pre cooking the meat or the rice like most recipes do! Definitely give this one a try, y’all!

Ingredients

4 red, yellow, or orange bell peppers (8 ounces each) – I was able to use 6!
1 onion, chopped fine
6 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 slice hearty white sandwich bread, torn into
1-inch pieces
¼ cup whole milk
Salt and pepper
5 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, shredded (1¼ cups)
1 cup frozen corn
¾ cup instant white rice
2 teaspoons minced canned chipotle chile in adobo sauce
1 lb 85 percent lean ground beef
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro

Instructions

1. Trim ½ inch off top of each pepper, then remove core and seeds. Finely chop pepper tops, discarding stems. Microwave chopped pepper tops, onion, garlic, chili powder, and oil in bowl, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
2. Mash bread, milk, 1½ teaspoons salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper into paste in large bowl using fork. Stir in pepper mixture, 1 cup
Monterey Jack, corn, rice, and chipotle. Add ground beef and knead with hands until well combined. Divide filling evenly among bell peppers, mounding slightly.
1. Pour ⅓/ cup water into slow cooker. Place stuffed peppers upright in slow cooker and sprinkle with remaining ¼ cup Monterey Jack. Cover and cook until peppers are tender, 4 to 5 hours on low or 3 to 4 hours on high. (I cooked mine on low for 4.5 hours and they were perfect)
2. Using tongs and slotted spoon, transfer peppers to serving dish; discard cooking liquid. Sprinkle with cilantro. Serve & enjoy!

**** please note, I felt that the meat mixture needed more seasoning. When I make this again I will season the meat mixture with a generous amount of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. ****

all right y’all requested more slow cooker recipes over the summer to beat the heat and I’m going to deliver today we’re going to make a stuffed pepper but it’s a stuffed pepper with a Twist as it’s a texme style stuffed pepper recipe in the crock pot it looks so simple we don’t have to Brown the ground beef we don’t have to pre-cook the rice nothing like that we literally stuff these peppers in this crock pot and we are ready to go I’m going to bring youall along let’s get started the first thing that we have to do is prepare our peppers and it can be any color bell pepper I just have orange and yellow here and I’ve already washed these just going to Pat these dry really quickly and we’ll get started on that you need a quantity of four peppers so the first thing we’ll do is cut the front portion off here with the stem and then we’re just going to cut around the edges of those seeds to get that seed out of [Music] there just pull that out and then anything else in the center that you want to try to pull out you can that looks pretty good that’s kind of what you want and we’re going to reserve this part because we’re going to be chopping this up so I’ll set this to the side we’ll try that again again we want to C cut the stem off of the pepper there we go so that to the side and we’ll cut out the [Music] seeds we’ll just pull that out this one had a little bit of seeds on the inside so I’m going to shake it off near my trash can here and then you can see how this doesn’t sit very straight actually let me pull out some of these insides here really quickly and you can see how this pepper doesn’t sit very straight so what we’ll do is kind of shave the bottom to try to level this up a bit like so and then that sits a lot better now we’re going to take these leftover for Tops and we’re going to trim around the stem to be able to use the rest of this [Music] [Applause] pepper just find chop these and then we’ll place these in a bowl and we’ll do that with each one of the leftover stem parts yeahall just look at how much pepper was left over on those areas that we cut off that’s quite a bit all right so the next thing we want to do is chop our onion we’ll need one yellow onion for this recipe I’d always heard that if you keep the end on one end of your onion it’s less likely to make you tear up gu it kind of works for me this the little tip there we’re going to be adding the onion in with the same Bowl as the peppers to my peppers and onions I’m going to add 2 teaspoon of chili powder 1 teaspoon of oil and six cloves of garlic that I’ve already minced [Music] we’re just going to toss that around a bit and then this will be going in the microwave for about 5 minutes to soften while our veggies are in the microwave we’re going to go ahead and shred our cheese we need about 5 oz of montere jack cheese so I will shred that now and I love this cheese Shredder it is so easy to [Music] use the next thing that we need is 2 teaspoon of chipotle peppers and Adobo sauce okay that looks good that should be more than enough so we’ll kind of set that to the side momentarily you want to get a mixing bowl and to that mixing bowl you’ll want to take one slice of white bread and just tear it up into [Music] pieces to the bread we’re going to add 1/4 cup of milk as well as a pinch of salt and a pinch of [Music] pepper and then using a fork you want to mix the bread with the milk mashing in trying to turn it into like a mushy type paste our peppers are done so I’m going to remove those from the microwave and we’ll add those into this mixture I ended up cooking the peppers for about 6 minutes to this mixture we’re going to add about a cup of our Montery dra cheese that we had pre-shredded you want to add one cup of frozen corn next you want to add in your Chipotle Adobe I need about 2 teaspoons I’m going to say that’s about 2 teaspoon lastly you want to add in your rice you want the minute white rice is one what you want to use for this recipe and you’ll need about 3/4 of a cup now we’re going to add in our ground beef you need one lb of ground beef okay and using your hands you just want to kind of blend all this together in that ground beef kind of getting that mixed in with everything all right before we stuff our Peppers I’m going to do one last thing I’m just going to use this everything seasoning from anti no no and season this up a little bit more I just love the seasoning this is totally optional not required by no means if you want that seasoning I get mine from Amazon um but that like I said totally optional not a requirement you could just use salt and pepper I just enjoy that seasoning now time for the fun part we get to stuff our shells so we’ll take our first shell here and using a spoon just going to stuff these peppers [Music] full you actually want them to come out over the top a bit that looks perfect y’all we may have enough for one more pepper actually we’ll see looks like we have enough stuffing for another pepper y’all so I’m going to prepare another pepper really quickly and we may be able to fit up to five or six in this crock pot we’ll see what we can fit in here looks like there’s enough stuffing here for six Peppers total which is really cool so to our crock pot we’re going to add 1/3 cup of water and then we’re going to gently place our peppers in here trying to make sure that they stay upright don’t know that we’re going to be able to fit that six one we’ll [Music] see that should be okay okay now we’re just going to take the remaining Monteray jack cheese sprinkle some of this on top of our [Music] Peppers then we’ll cover this and cook this on four to 5 hours on low or 3 to 4 hours on high all right y’all it’s been about 5 hours so our stuffed peppers are done let’s take a
