Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork sausage
- 1-1/2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
- 1-1/2 cups salsa
- 1-1/2 cups Mexican blend cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 bell peppers
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown sausage, and drain.
- Meanwhile, cook rice according to instructions on the box. (Note: slightly undercook it! Otherwise, it’ll become mushy in the slow cooker, and that’s not a fun texture at all.)
- Add cooked sausage to a mixing bowl. Add the cooked rice, 1 cup salsa, 1 cup cheese, and salt to the bowl and mix well.
- Remove tops from peppers, then remove seeds. Place peppers in a lightly greased slow cooker.
- Fill peppers about ½ way full with sausage mixture. Evenly sprinkle the peppers with about ¼ cup cheese.
- Add remaining sausage mixture to the peppers. Spoon remaining salsa over top of the peppers.
- Cook on low for 3-4 hours or until soft.
- Evenly sprinkle with remaining ¼ cup cheese. Replace lid and cook for 5 minutes more or until cheese is melted.
