Ingredients:
    • 2 cups cooked long-grain or jasmine rice, preferably a day old or cold
    • 1 pound cooked lean ground beef (about 2 cups cooked)
    • 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes
    • 4 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 cup finely diced onion, divided
    • 1 cup fresh herbs (a mix of dill, cilantro, and Italian parsley—1/3 cup each)
    • 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 6 to 8 large colored bell peppers (smaller peppers may be substituted, but more will be needed)
    • 1 cup water
    • 4 ounces canned tomato sauce

Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine rice, cooked ground beef, diced tomatoes, garlic, 1/2 cup diced onion, fresh herbs, salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Mix well.
  2. Prepare bell peppers by removing the tops and hollowing out the insides. Stuff peppers with the filling mixture until full.
  3. In the bottom of your Crock-Pot® Slow Cooker pour in water and tomato sauce. Add remaining diced onion and mix to combine. Arrange stuffed peppers over the sauce mixture. Cover and cook on HIGH for 2 to 3 hours, or until peppers are tender.
  4. Serve by spooning sauce from the bottom of the slow cooker over the stuffed peppers. Enjoy!
