Steps:
- Trim about 1/8 inch from the bottom of each pepper so it can stand upright. Cut the top 1/4 inch off each pepper. Remove and discard the stems, then finely chop the remaining flesh from the tops and set aside. Scoop out and discard the seeds and as much of the membranes as you can from inside the peppers.
- Mix the reserved chopped pepper with the ground beef, tomatoes and their juices, 1 cup of the cheese, cooked rice, garlic, 3 of the scallions, chili powder, cumin, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and several grinds of black pepper in a large bowl with your hands until combined. Dividing evenly, spoon the filling into the hollowed-out peppers, packing it in (the filling will mound a bit above the tops).
- Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker, then add the stuffed peppers. Season the top of each pepper with another pinch of salt. Cover and cook on high until the peppers are tender and the ground beef is cooked through, for 3 to 3 1/2 hours. Top with the remaining 1 cup cheese, cover and cook on high for 10 minutes more to melt the cheese. Sprinkle the peppers with the remaining scallions and add a dollop of sour cream to each.

Steps:
- Cut tops off of bell peppers, if using italian peppers (they are thinner), lay pepper on cutting board the way it is most stable, then slice off the very top of the pepper at a slight angle (to help keep stuffing inside while cooking in the crock pot). Remove seeds and inner membrane.
- Cook brown rice and cool slightly (I use one bag of Success boil in bag brown rice- super easy and always cooks up perfectly).
- Saute onions in thin layer of wine, or water if you prefer. When starting to become translucent, add mushrooms and saute until mushrooms lose most water and are reduced in size. Add garlic and saute a minute. Add oregano and saute one more minute. Remove from heat.
- In a medium bowl, stir together rice, mushroom mixture, cheese, then salt and pepper to taste. Stuff inside of peppers. Pour half of the marinara into the crockpot, carefully lay peppers on top, then carefully pour remaining sauce on each pepper.
- Cook on low for 6 hours.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured out. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
- Choose the Right Peppers: For this recipe, it's best to use large bell peppers that are firm and have thick walls. This will help them hold their shape and prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Cook the Rice Ahead of Time: To save time, you can cook the rice ahead of time and let it cool completely before assembling the stuffed peppers. This will also help to prevent the rice from becoming overcooked when it's baked in the crockpot.
- Use a Variety of Vegetables: Feel free to mix and match your favorite vegetables in the stuffing. Some good options include corn, black beans, zucchini, and mushrooms.
- Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season the stuffing and sauce liberally. This will help to bring out the flavors of the vegetables and rice.
- Cook on Low: When cooking the stuffed peppers in the crockpot, be sure to cook them on low for 6-8 hours. This will help to ensure that the peppers are cooked through and the filling is heated evenly.
Conclusion:
Vegetarian crockpot stuffed peppers are a delicious and easy way to enjoy a healthy and flavorful meal.
