Categories     Peppers

Time 6h20m

Yield 5 peppers, 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 red bell peppers (Red Italian Peppers also work)
2 cups cooked brown rice
2 tablespoons white wine (or water)
3 portabella mushroom caps, diced fine
1 medium onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 cup parmesan cheese (vegan parmesan would also work)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (32 ounce) jar marinara sauce

Steps:

  • Cut tops off of bell peppers, if using italian peppers (they are thinner), lay pepper on cutting board the way it is most stable, then slice off the very top of the pepper at a slight angle (to help keep stuffing inside while cooking in the crock pot). Remove seeds and inner membrane.
  • Cook brown rice and cool slightly (I use one bag of Success boil in bag brown rice- super easy and always cooks up perfectly).
  • Saute onions in thin layer of wine, or water if you prefer. When starting to become translucent, add mushrooms and saute until mushrooms lose most water and are reduced in size. Add garlic and saute a minute. Add oregano and saute one more minute. Remove from heat.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together rice, mushroom mixture, cheese, then salt and pepper to taste. Stuff inside of peppers. Pour half of the marinara into the crockpot, carefully lay peppers on top, then carefully pour remaining sauce on each pepper.
  • Cook on low for 6 hours.

  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven to cook the stuffed peppers, so that they are fully submerged in the sauce.
  • Cook the stuffed peppers on low for 6-8 hours, or until the peppers are tender and the stuffing is cooked through.
  • Serve the stuffed peppers with your favorite sides, such as rice, quinoa, or roasted vegetables.
