I am making crockpot Stuffed Peppers right now..here is recipe!
They smell amazing so hoping they taste the same. I actually only used 1/2 cup of cheese because I am doing WW points and wanted to save somewhere. I calculated that each pepper is 7.5 points. They are HUGE and seem that they'll be very filling!
This recipe is also great for anyone looking for healthy as well as low carb!
4 large bell peppers (I used green but can use any color..green are cheaper!)
1 pound ground turkey OR lean beef
16 ounce jar of salsa
1 cup shredded mexican cheese
1 cup uncooked brown or white rice
1 cup tomato sauce
1 cup water
Salt & pepper to taste
Brown 1 pound of ground turkey or beef over skillet. Drain off fat. Add one 16 ounce jar of salsa, 1 cup shredded mexican cheese, 1 cup uncooked brown rice (can use white if desired) and stir well.
Take your 4 bell peppers and remove the tops and the seeds inside (pretty much clean out the pepper!).
Stuff the peppers with the turkey/beef mixture.
Mix 1 cup tomato sauce and 1 cup water together and pour into bottom of crockpot. Position peppers in crockpot.
Cover and cook either on low for 6 hours or high for 3 and a half hours.
**You can add more shredded cheese to the top of the peppers during the last 15 minutes of cooking if desired!!

Oh, this looks yummy!!! I'll definitely try it with ground turkey one of these nights. This is a main dish, right? You wouldn't serve anything else with it, right? Just trying to figure out how many my DH would eat

I was worried it wouldn't be enough as a main dish but one pepper was actually really filling. Dh wanted to eat another one, but he didn't.
The only thing I would have done differently was to add more spices. I don't know quite what its missing..they were delicious, but i think i would have added spices to the meat while it was browing for extra flavor (garlic salt, onion powder etc..). Still overall delicious!!

No, I was going to do rice and beans, but the peppers are so filling, and I figured, when all's said and done, I've got four food groups represented.
I did prepare the beef a little differently, though. I seasoned it with 1/3 cup tomato sauce, 1 tsp. cumin, 1/4 tsp. coriander & 1/2 tsp. of chili powder. It was pretty yummy. :)

Re: I am making crockpot Stuffed Peppers right now..here is recipe!
I made this tonight. I am happy to report that it was DELICIOUS, and beyond easy. I made it for BIL & SIL too, and she's a great cook, and they liked it.
I used ground turkey (seasoned first w/garlic, s & p as recommended) and brown rice, and therefore it was pretty healthy. It was delicious. 3 hours on high and it was perfect!! It stuffed 5 big peppers! And that's all we needed for food, nothing else to go with it, even the guys were full with one pepper each.
Thanks for the recipe
