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:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Place the ground beef into a skillet over medium heat, and brown the meat, breaking it apart into crumbles as it cooks, about 8 minutes. Drain excess fat. Stir in the taco seasoning, water, chili powder, cooked rice, salt, garlic salt, black pepper, and 1 can of tomato sauce; mix until thoroughly combined. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut the bell peppers in half lengthwise, and remove stems, membranes, cores, and seeds. Place a steamer insert into a large saucepan, and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Cover, and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Place the peppers into the steamer insert, cover the pan, and steam until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Place the steamed peppers into the prepared baking dish, and fill lightly with the meat filling. Press 1 cube of Colby-Jack cheese into the center of the filling in each pepper, and spoon the remaining can of tomato sauce over the peppers. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the peppers are tender and the filling is hot, 25 to 30 minutes.

Steps:
- Brown the ground beef brown in a pan and rinse the fat off using a collander in the sink return to pan. Stir in tomato soup, tomato sauce, Rotel Original diced tomatos with chilis, and black beans, but if you want to stretch it add more sauce or they will be to dry! lastly add a handfull of diced yellow bell pepper. Stir it all together.
- Put the remaining half can of sauce and tomato soup in a seperate bowl. Stuff the peppers with the filling, when choosing your bell peppers if you are making more get the tall skinny ones because you can fit more in the crock pot, but if your just halfing the recipe for 2 bell peppers then get the short chubby ones and cook in a small crock pot. Okay now you stuff the peppers place in the crock pot, if you have extra stuffing left over (I almost always do) then add it to the extra sauce that you set aside. Take this reserved sauce and pour over the bell peppers, and cook on low for several hours.

Tips:
- Prep your peppers in advance: Cut the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds and ribs. You can do this up to a day ahead of time and store the peppers in the refrigerator.
- Use a variety of fillings: In addition to the ground beef, you can also use ground turkey, chicken, or even lentils. You can also add other vegetables to the filling, such as corn, black beans, or zucchini.
