My tastes have changed a little since then again and I like my food a bit spicier now so amend this recipe to your own tastes. You can spice up the filling a bit more if you like with fresh chopped chili and/or other herbs. You could also add a couple of tablespoons of sweet chili sauce to the recipe but then reduce the wine.
Stuffed Peppers with Beef and Rice
4 - 6 bell peppers (capsicum) 2 med onions, chopped finely 2 cloves garlic, chopped 1 lb (500g) minced beef salt and pepper 1/4 cup white wine or stock 1 large ripe tomato chopped or canned tomato 1 cup cooked rice 1 cup stock or tomato juice (from canned tomato) 4 - 6 pieces of bacon (one for each pepper) 1/4 cup corn kernels (cooked or canned) handful of basil chopped Grated cheese (optional)
Turn crock pot on to high and spray with non stick spray. See how many peppers will fit into your crock pot. Take the top off the peppers and seed them, then put aside. Combine onions, garlic, beef, corn and salt and pepper. Add the rice and the basil and fill the peppers, pressing the mixture into each. Top with a piece of bacon. Pour over the stock (or tomato juice). Cover the crock pot and cook for 3 -4 hours. Top with grated cheese or add just before serving. You can serve these stuffed peppers with salad or steamed vegetables as a meal or serve alone as an entree.
If you have any left over mixture you can roll it into balls, coat with breadcrumbs and fry. You can heat and serve these as a snack or with fried eggs for breakfast. I used fairly large peppers and could only fit 4 in my crock pot. I think they are nicer though a bit smaller and then you will fit more in especially if you use an oval crock pot. I hope you enjoy this crock pot recipe for Stuffed Peppers with Beef and Rice.
