Ingredients
6 medium bell peppers mixed colors
1 pound (450 g) ground beef
1 ½ cups cooked rice white or brown
14 ounces can (400 g) diced tomatoes divided
1 medium yellow onion finely diced
4 cloves garlic minced
1 cup (112 g) shredded cheddar cheese divided
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¾ cup (180 ml) beef broth or chicken stock
Instructions
Cut the tops of the bell peppers, remove seeds and ribs and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, rice, half of the diced tomatoes, onion, garlic, ½ cup of cheese, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Stuff each bell pepper with the meat mixture all the way to the top.
Arrange the stuffed bell peppers in a 6-quart (or larger) slow cooker.
In a small jug, combine the remaining diced tomatoes with the beef broth, and pour all over the stuffed peppers. Return the tops to the peppers.
Cover the slow cooker with a lid, and cook on high for 2-3 hours, or on low for 5-6 hours.
Remove the lid and the tops, top each bell pepper with the remaining cheese, then cover with the lid again to allow the cheese to melt. Serve warm.
