I made these peppers in my slow cooker and they came out perfectly! I just browned the beef and peppers in a skillet before adding them to the slow cooker. Then I cooked them on low for 8 hours.

These peppers were a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less chili powder next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my peppers were really dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

I followed the recipe exactly and the peppers were still undercooked. I had to put them back in the oven for an extra 15 minutes.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a winner. The peppers are always tender and the filling is delicious. I like to add a little bit of extra cheese to the top before baking.
