Crock Pot Stuffed Peppers
Description
The recipe begins by browning ground beef with diced onions, breaking it up while cooking, then draining excess grease. The uncooked rice, minced garlic, canned diced tomatoes with green chilies, tomato paste, brown sugar, chicken broth, salt, and pepper are stirred in to create the filling.
Bell peppers are prepared by cutting off tops, removing seeds and membranes, and trimming bottoms so they stand upright. The filling is spooned into the peppers, which are arranged standing in the crock pot.
Cooking on low heat for 5-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours allows the filling to cook through and the peppers to soften without drying out. The slow cooking melds flavors, producing a tender, flavorful dish that can be served directly from the crock pot.

- 1/4 cup brown sugar

- Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours until the filling is cooked through and the peppers are tender.
