Recipe Ingredients

• Ground beef – cooked and crumbled lean ground beef.
• Bell peppers – I use green bell pepper and red.
• Yellow onion – Sweet yellow onion is my favorite for crockpot stuffed pepper soup
• Garlic – Add Italian flavor.
• Fire-roasted tomatoes – Don’t skip finding fire-roasted diced tomatoes; they add a slightly charred flavor to the soup.
• Tomato sauce – To add a thick tomato base, tomato sauce (not tomato paste) makes for a perfect hearty stuffed pepper soup.
• Chicken broth – I prefer chicken broth for recipes for it tastes less tinny than beef broth, though you can use beef broth if desired.
• Seasonings – oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. You can use Italian seasoning if that’s what you have on hand.
• Minute brand rice – WAIT TO ADD the uncooked instant rice until the end of the cooking time. Do not add raw rice to this recipe, though you can add one cup of cooked rice instead of minute brand. You can use white rice or brown rice.

Step-by-Step Directions

Step One – Gather your ingredients. Brown the beef and chop the onion, garlic and red and green bell peppers.

Step Two – Add everything to the crock pot (except the instant rice).

Step Three – Stir everything well. Cook on HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for 8 hours. Do not open the lid during cooking time.

Step Four – Add the uncooked rice (Minute Brand) and stir. Replace the lid and cook for 20 minutes more on HIGH. Using Minute brand rice makes for easy stuffed pepper soup. Serve topped with mozzarella cheese and crusty bread.
