Best Inside Out Stuffed Peppers Recipes

SLOW COOKER "INSIDE OUT" STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• 1. Saute the raw rice in the oil or butter until it is golden brown. Note: do not omit this step... I was in a rush to get going and skipped this step and the rice never cooked properly. You don't have to use all the butter or oil, in fact, half that amount (1/4 c) works just as well, but DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP!
• 2. Place in slow cooker with all remaining ingredients. Stir well.
• 3. Cover and cook on Low for 4 to 6 hours or on High for 2 to 3 hours.
• 4. NOTE: I cut the green pepper in long strips so it would not get lost in the recipe -- I like the "green pepper" emphasis, but you can make it however you like. I also doubled the meat to make it more like stuffed green peppers and less like Spanish rice. I think you could use 3 or even 4 green peppers, too, if you really want the stuffed pepper taste.

LOW CARB INSIDE OUT STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Dump cole slaw into 6 qt. slow cooker
• Layer on the frozen green beans, then the chopped bell peppers. (If you really want more of the green pepper taste, add 1 or 2 more green peppers, chopped. I wanted to put in one more but was running out of room in the pot. Perhaps 3/4 of a bag of cole slaw would have been better and then add additional green pepper -- but it really was delicious as it was.)
• Layer on the frozen meat balls and chopped onion then sprinkle the salt and garlic powder over top of everything
• Mix the red wine and the tomato sauce in a bowl and drizzle over everything, trying to touch all the meat balls.
• Cut up the 1/2 stick of butter into individual pats and dot the whole pan with them.
• Put the lid on and turn the timer to high for 4 hours. (Can probably also cook for about 8 hours on low if you like)
• After mine had been cooking for about an hour, I stirred everything to mix up the layers and really get the flavors to permeate all the ingredients. If you are doing an all day, away from home, slow cook, then you don't really have to stir it. OR you can simply stir it once before you leave for work. It should be fine.
