Crockpot Stuffed Bell Peppers (w/ optional vegetarian version) By Corey @ http://www.familyfreshmeals.com/

  I will be making these tomorrow except I plan on doing my own version. I will be posting my results and pictures on Tuesday.

Did you know that you could make these in the CROCKPOT!? 

Let me show you how…

 

Who doesn’t love a good stuffed pepper? But in the crockpot? EVEN better. You can easily make these Stuffed Peppers vegetarian. To save time in the morning, you could prep everything, and just stuff peppers in the morning, set the crockpot and go about your day.

Melt in your mouth good, and VERY healthy! The kids loved this one. Little D didn’t care for the pepper skins, but loved the rest.

Darryl is not the biggest pepper fan, but LOVED these. Hope you enjoy this amazingly easy recipe XO Corey
