How to Make Crock Pot Stuffed Peppers

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) if baking.
  2. Cut tops off 4-6 large bell peppers (any color). Remove seeds and membranes; rinse and set aside.
  3. In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef and 1 lb Italian sausage over medium-high heat. Drain off excess grease.
  4. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in 1 cup uncooked long-grain rice, 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, 1 tsp garlic salt, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp dried basil, salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
  7. Fill bell peppers generously with the meat and rice mixture. Place peppers upright in a greased slow cooker.
  8. Pour any remaining filling around the peppers in the slow cooker.
  9. Cook on low for 7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, or until peppers are tender.
  10. **Alternative Baking Method:** Arrange stuffed peppers in a greased 8x12 baking dish. Bake covered for 45 minutes, then uncovered for 15 minutes, or until browned and bubbly.
  11. Top with shredded Swiss cheese (optional) before serving.
