Vegetarian Stuffed Peppers (slow-cooker style) image

This is really different from every stuffed pepper recipe I've ever tried. Don't let the fact there's no meat scare you off. It's delicious and filling. If you MUST have some meat, try adding some crumbled cooked bacon to the mixture but it's fantastic made vegetarian style. Even my picky teenager liked it!

These stuffed peppers are a great make-ahead meal. I often make them on the weekend and then reheat them during the week.

The peppers were a bit too soft for my liking, but the filling was delicious. I'll try cooking the peppers for a shorter amount of time next time.
