Mexican Crock Pot Stuffed Peppers

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

crock-pot-stuffed-peppers

These crock pot stuffed peppers are delish!  And there is NO precooking.  Everything cooks right inside the pepper....all you do is a wash, chop, mix and stuff.

All you have to do is a wash, chop, mix and stuff.  Then let the crock pot do the cooking for you.

Prep time is about 8 minutes and cook time is between 6 and 8 hours.  Then about 20 minutes before dinner time just top with your shredded cheeses, cover it back up and give it a few minutes to melt.

This batch was made with Mexican flavors so it's a slight twist on the classic dish.  But it's still amazingly yummy and oh so easy to make.

Give them a shot and tell us what you

think!  Enjoy, 'cause they'll "rock your crock" :)
