    Want dinner ready when you walk in the door? Try the easiest Crockpot Stuffed Peppers with uncooked rice recipe.

    During the cold weather season, my slow cooker Crock Pot is my hero when it comes to easy dinner ideas. I love being able to do a little prep work then throw everything in the slow cooker and go about the rest of our day.

    We love stuffed peppers in our house and this Crockpot Stuffed Peppers with Uncooked Rice recipe is the easiest because of the rice aspect! Depending on the amount of time you have, you will have a rice decision to make!

    Slow Cooker Stuffed Peppers - Make this healthy recipe with either ground beef or turkey. It's easy to make as a vegetarian dish too! Make these in your Crockpot and have dinner ready when you come home!

    Crockpot Stuffed Peppers with Uncooked Rice Recipe

    If you’ve ever made a stuffed bell peppers recipe, a lot of them ask you to cook the peppers beforehand but that’s the part you don’t have to worry about with this recipe.

    If you don’t have a Crock Pot yet (or you’re needing a new one like I did recently), there are a few different things to consider if you’re buying to make stuffed peppers in slow cooker. Depending on how many peppers you’re going to be making each time, you may need a smaller or larger slow cooker.

    I find that a 4-quart Crock Pot works well for about four stuffed peppers.

    If you need a new Crock Pot to make Slow Cooker stuffed bell peppers, these are some of my favorites in each size:

    There are two ways to make these Stuffed Peppers with Ground Beef. Depending on how much time you have to cook your peppers in the slow cooker, you may or may not have to do a little bit of prep work before you put the peppers in the Crock Pot.

    The Crockpot Stuffed Peppers with Uncooked Rice prep is my favorite but you do need a bit more cook time.

    I’ll give you both stuffed green peppers slow cooker preps. They both use the same ingredients so it’s really just all about time!

      I am confused your recipe is for Stuffed Peppers with un cooked Rice. but both recopies call for cooking the rice. So my question is do I have to cook the Rice before I stuff the peppers?

      Thank You

        Connie, thank you for pointing that out! In this Slow Cooker recipe you do NOT need to cook the rice. That is the whole point! In my other recipes for peppers I do cook the rice, but not this one! I will update it now!

      For the uncooked slow cooker recipe print edition it states I need 1 C cooked rice. And in step one it says cook the rice. I’m assuming I can just use uncooked rice. I thought I’d let you know what the recipe said because it’s confusing.

        I never cook the rice or meat meat before hand. I usually use uncooked pork sausage and uncooked rice. I sautee some onion and garlic and add that to the uncooked rice & meat, add my tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, seasonings (garlic powder, onion powder,
        Italian seasoning, oregano, rosemary & tyme), and mix it all together. Then I stuff my uncooked bell peppers and top them with a little tomato paste. I cook them for around 7 hrs on low, adding mozzarella cheese on top the last 10 minutes of cook time.
