- Spoon the stuffing into each bell pepper.
- Add about a half inch of water to the bottom of the crock pot or slow cooker and cook on low for 4-5 hours on low, or 2-3 hours on high, or until everything is cooked through and the peppers have softened to your preference.
- Serve with cilantro and crema over the top, and your favorite hot sauce. Enjoy!
