Preparation
  1. Wash the bell peppers thoroughly, slice the tops off, and remove the seeds. Set aside.

  4. Carefully fill each bell pepper with the meat mixture, pressing down gently to pack it in.
Cooking
  1. Place the stuffed peppers upright in your crockpot. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of each before covering.
  2. Allow the peppers to cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours.
  3. Once cooked, serve your stuffed peppers with additional cheese or fresh herbs.
