Try this one:
Stuffed Peppers (Easy)
4 large green bell peppers, tops removed, cleaned of seeds and cored
1 lb extra-lean ground beef
8-oz can tomato sauce, divided
15-oz can Spanish rice (or just use cooked rice, some taco seasoning and a little salsa or tomato sauce)
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Prepare green peppers. Combine remaining ingredients (1/2 the tomato sauce) and stuff peppers full with the mixture. Place stuffed peppers in slow cooker. Pour remaining tomato sauce over peppers. Cover & cook on high 4 hours or on low 8 hours.

Hi, I don't have a recipe just for cabbage rolls or stuffed peppers, I use my meat loaf recipe and add cooked rice in the amount for the bread or cracker crumbs. If it dosen't look like as much as I want, I just add a little more rice. Lots of luck .

I cook stuffed peppers in the crock pot for the 6-8 hours on low. I do preboil the rice but not the peppers. I cut the tops off, clean out the peppers and add the meat mixture--ground beef, onion egg, rice, s&p, and I add a can of whole kernal corn. It makes the peppers a little sweet and my family loved it. If I make them in the oven I cook them at 350 for about an hour. I almost forgot I use a can of tomato soup for the sauce.

I don't precook the peppers or the rice if I'm cooking them in the crock pot.
But for the oven, I do precook the rice. I also cut the tops off the peppers, remove the seeds and cook them for about 6 minutes in boiling water, then drain and stuff them.
Place in a 9x13 baking dish, add about 1/2 cup water to pan, cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes.

Hi I wanted to know how long would you leave the peppers in the oven rather than the crock pot. Should you cook the rice first and should you cook it all the way till it's done and then put it in the peppers.
Thanks much

They are in the crock pot at home as we speak....I will let you know how they were. I used a recipe from about.com, but I plan to experiment with some of the suggestions here in the future. I never thought of using my meatloaf recipe--and I make goooooood meatloaf!

Hi lauradewoody, This is an ideal. do you have a "favorite Meat loaf" recipe? If so, just mix it up, add some cooked rice, about 1/2 c. per lb. of hambuger. stuff your peppers, put in the crock pot , cover with tomatoe juice, or tomatoe soup mixed 1/2 with water and cook at least 4 hrs. on high and 6 on low. Lots of luck.

If you search "stuffed bell peppers in the crock pot" online a bunch of recipes come up--all pretty basic to the ones you make in an oven. The only question I have is they say to cook for 8-10 hours on low--I would think the peppers would get really mushy. When I make them in the oven, we do not like the peppers really soft.
