Slow Cooker Stuffed Peppers

Stuff them and slow cook them and then enjoy these super easy stuffed peppers for dinner!

I adore stuffed peppers and try and make them as much as I can. I was intrigued by this slow cooker version, especially since you don't cook the meat beforehand, which is just strange when you're used to cooking everything first before putting it into the pepper. I love recipes where you get a full pepper to yourself instead of half a pepper. Honestly, it's easier to eat a half pepper, but it's easier to stuff a full pepper. As I near the time where I will begin working after 13 years as a stay at home mom, I'm definitely leaning on finding the best slow cooker recipes so I can have them in my arsenal!

If you have around an hour to spare, these Ragu Stuffed Peppers are so fantastic - they were my first pepper stuffed with couscous instead of rice or quinoa. You can even make the ragu ahead of time, you can actually make the peppers even quicker. I have so many stuffed pepper recipes saved like this 5-Ingredient Mexican Quinoa Stuffed Peppers recipe from Gimme Some Oven.
