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" 🙂
