Slow-Cooker Southwestern Stuffed Peppers


This dish is yet another example of the joy of slow-cooking. I especially enjoyed how simple they were to assemble (no pre-cooking anything!). I think I over-cooked mine just by about an hour because the peppers became a little wrinkled; it still tasted great. Make sure to buy peppers that sit up on their own to avoid them hitting the slow-cooker walls and burning. I hope you enjoy!
  • 4 green bell peppers
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup (4 oz) shredded pepper jack cheese (or similar)
  • 3/4 cup medium salsa
  • 1/2 cup frozen corn
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/3 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  1. Cut thin slice off top of each bell pepper. Carefully remove seeds and membrane, leaving pepper whole.
  2. Combine beans, cheese, salsa, corn, onions, rice, chili powder and cumin in a medium bowl. Spoon filling evenly into each pepper. Place peppers slow-cooker.
  3. Cover; cook on LOW 4-6 hours (before peppers begin to get "wrinkly").
