Ingredients

  • 6 Large Bell Peppers (I like to use an assortment of colors)
  • 1 pound 90% lean ground beef
  • ½ cup onion, diced very finely (unless you like chunky onions in your meal – I don’t)
  • 1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup instant white rice
  • 1 cup beef stock
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1½ cup shredded Sharp White Cheddar cheese, divided
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup water

Instructions

  • In a small pot, bring beef stock to a boil.  Turn stove burner off, add instant rice to beef stock, cover and set aside.
  • Cut off the top of each pepper, pull out any remaining stem and scrape out the seeds and membranes.  Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine ground beef, rice, diced tomatoes, onion, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, 1 cup of Shredded Sharp Cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Stuff each pepper with ground beef mixture.
  • Pour 1/4 cup of water into bottom of slow cooker and place peppers on top.
  • Cook peppers on low for 6 hours, or high for 4 hours, until peppers are tender and ground beef is cooked through.
  • About 15 minutes before peppers are done, sprinkle remaining shredded cheese on top to melt.
