A hearty and comforting stew featuring classic flavors of stuffed peppers, cooked to perfection in a slow cooker.
Ingredients: 1 lb ground beef. 1 cup uncooked white rice. 4 large bell peppers, any color, halved and seeded. 1 can 15 oz tomato sauce. 1 can 14.5 oz diced tomatoes, undrained. 1 cup beef broth. 1 small onion, chopped. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning. Salt and pepper to taste. Shredded cheese for garnish optional.
Instructions: In a skillet, brown ground beef over medium heat. Drain excess fat. In a large bowl, mix cooked ground beef, uncooked rice, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, beef broth, chopped onion, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Place bell pepper halves in the bottom of the slow cooker. Stuff each pepper half with the beef and rice mixture. Pour any remaining mixture around the peppers in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, or until peppers are tender and rice is cooked through. Serve hot, garnished with shredded cheese if desired.
