Looking for the perfect dinner? These Slow-Cooker Stuffed Peppers are a breeze to make and taste so delicious! Made with ground beef, fire-roasted tomatoes, rice, cheese, and savory spices (garlic, chili and cumin), these stuffed peppers are always a crowd-pleaser and perfect for casual entertaining.
Start by preparing the bell peppers. Cut off the tops and chop the flesh from the tops. Next, combine the ground beef with the chopped pepper, half of the cheese, cooked rice, and seasonings in a large bowl. Stuff the hollowed peppers with the prepared filling. Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of your slow cooker, then add the stuffed peppers. Cover and cook until the peppers are tender and the ground meat is cooked through. Serve sprinkled with thinly sliced scallions and a dollop of sour cream. Enjoy!
To make the Slow-Cooker Stuffed Peppers, you will need the following ingredients:
Carefully trim about ⅛ inch from the bottom of each bell pepper so it can stand upright. Cut ¼ inch off the top of each pepper. Remove and discard the stems. Finely chop the remaining flesh from the tops. Set aside. Scoop out and discard the seeds and the membranes from inside the peppers.
In a large bowl, combine the reserved chopped bell pepper with 1 pound ground beef, 1 can tomatoes and their juices, 1 cup cheese, 1 cup cooked medium-grain white rice, 4 minced garlic cloves, 3 thinly sliced scallions, 2 teaspoons chili powder, ½ tsp ground cumin, 1 ½ teaspoons salt, and several grinds of black pepper. Mix with your hands until combined.
Spoon the filling evenly into the hollowed-out peppers, packing it in (the filling will come a little above the tops).
Pour ½ cup chicken broth into the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker. Add the stuffed peppers. Sprinkle the top of each pepper with a pinch of salt.
Cover the slow cooker with a lid and cook on high until the peppers are tender and the ground beef is cooked through, about 3 to 3 ½ hours.
Uncover and top with the remaining 1 cup cheese, cover again, and cook on high for 10 minutes until the cheese has melted.
To serve, sprinkle the peppers with the remaining scallions and add a dollop of sour cream to each. Enjoy!
