I came across this recipe on Pinterest and since I LOVE using my slow cooker, I had to try it. Not only was it easy, but it changed up my normal slow cooker meals, and turned out great! Definitely make this for the family!!
Ingredients:
4-5 bell peppers (I used red)
1/2 of a yellow onion, diced
1 pound ground beef or turkey (uncooked)
1 cup canned enchilada sauce
1 1/4 cup shredded jack cheese
3/4 cup cooked Mexican rice (I used leftovers from a previous night)
1/3 cup water
Salt/Pepper
Sour Cream
Directions:
Finely dice 1/2 of a yellow onion. Pour a cup of enchilada sauce into a heat proof microwavable container. Add onion to the cup and microwave for 5 minutes, to soften onion.
Cut the tops off of the bell peppers and remove seeds/stems.
Pour 1/3 cup water into bottom of the slow cooker.
In a large mixing bowl, add in ground beef or turkey, onion/sauce mixture, Mexican rice, 1 cup cheese, 1 tsp salt/pepper, and mix until thoroughly combined.
Spoon mixture into each bell pepper filling it to the top. Place filled peppers into slow cooker and cook on low for 6 hours. Serve topped with sour cream.

This receipe sounds delish but I was wondering if you put any type of liquid in the crock pot? Do you just grease it and set the peppers in? I’d like to make this tonight.. please help! 🙂
