Crockpot Stuffed Peppers
These stuffed peppers are a go-to for a practically no prep meal option for those busy weeks! Just mix up the ingredients, stuff into the peppers and turn on the crockpot! The flavors are delicious and comforting, and the presentation is so impressive even guests will never know you barely put any effort into it! Recipe cred totally goes to my longtime friend, Katie Beisel.
