Do you have a favorite pepper color? I like the orange and yellow best. Maybe because they are a little sweet? You can use whatever your family likes. Maybe you have a kid who’s favorite color is orange. Well, giving them an orange dinner is a great way to get them to eat their veggies, right? Will they even realize how nutritious and healthy these are?

I love black beans for my protein, but again, go with your family’s favorites!

These variations will work perfectly swapped out for black beans in these Slow Cooker Stuffed Peppers:

  • White Beans
  • Kidney Beans
  • Slow Cooker Pinto Beans

    I wanted a slow cooker recipe, but I think I’d prefer to bake these because I can make more and would not risk the over cooking. Can you convert the recipe? Also, I don’t care for minute rice. Prefer making a basmati or jasmine. Would I cook the rice first if I baked?

      I have not tested these in the oven but I’m sure it would be very possible to do so. I also have not tested them with another type of rice but I would assume you would want to parboil regular rice so that it would cook fast enough.

    This dish was very tasty! Just some tips to help other cooks: 1) the mix could yield much more than 4 bell peppers, and 2) don’t overcook. I would say that I could easily have filled six or maybe more bell peppers with the ingredients listed. If you use small-ish bell peppers, you might even be able to fill eight. After 4.5 hours, I checked them, and they seemed done. However, I switched my crock pot to warm and let them sit for another hour because I wasn’t ready for dinner (with the recipe calling for 4 to 6 hours on low, I planned for five hours for dinner time). When I got back to them, the bell peppers had started to thin and shrivel, and one burst as I was removing it from the pot. In the future, I will be more diligent about eating them nearer to when they are finished. Overall, a very tasty and easy recipe.

    Can’t wait to try these! What is the best way to reheat? Or should you avoid reheating?

      I think they would reheat ok in the microwave for a few seconds.
