Sweet bell peppers stuffed with a classic savory ground beef and rice filling all in the slow cooker, makes these Crock Pot Stuffed Peppers a family favorite! EVERYTHING goes in uncooked and comes out one delicious, cozy meal.
Cut tops off of bell peppers and remove membranes and seeds. Place peppers standing up into the Crock Pot. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine remaining ingredients, including half of the cheese. Mix together with a strong spoon or clean hands.
Spoon ground beef mixture into peppers.
Cover and cook on Low for 5-7 hours, until ground beef is cooked and rice is tender. About 15-30 minutes before serving, top stuffed pepper with remaining cheese, then continue cooking until cheese is melted.

Notes
Cheese: I looove cheese in mine, but it's totally optional. If you need to be dairy free, it won't be missed!
Rice: Very old rice that has been sitting in your pantry for who-knows-how-long takes longer to cook. For this particular recipe, you'll want fairly new rice that has been stored well. Brown rice also takes longer to cook, so I recommend sticking with white rice.
Ground Beef: You can also use ground pork or turkey.
Storage: Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days.
