Crockpot Stuffed Bell Peppers
The ultimate comfort food! This is one of my favorite dinners and I love it even more because I can make it in the crockpot! These Crockpot Stuffed Bell Peppers come out so full of flavor and taste even better than you could imagine!
With just a little bit of prep-work, you can toss this recipe in your crockpot and let the flavors blend together while you are out for the day. I have even browned the meat and assembled these ahead of time, popped the stuffed peppers in freezer bags and they are good to go for a busy day. This is perfect to do when bell peppers are in season or if you find them on sale.
If you are on the 21 Day fix. 1 Stuffed Pepper = 1 Green – 1 Red – 1/2 yellow – 1/2 blue

YAY! I just found your site and I love it! Do you think this would be good with ground turkey or you think it would dry out?
Ground turkey works great too! The crockpot is great about keeping food moist. With the tomato sauce it keeps it perfect. 😉
