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.

Tips:
- Choose the right peppers: Look for large, firm peppers with thick walls. Bell peppers are a popular choice, but you can also use poblano peppers, Anaheim peppers, or jalapeño peppers. If you're using spicy peppers, be sure to remove the seeds and ribs before stuffing them.
- Cook the rice ahead of time: This will save you time and help the peppers cook evenly. You can cook the rice in a rice cooker, on the stovetop, or in the microwave.
- Use a variety of fillings: In addition to chicken, you can also use ground beef, turkey, sausage, or beans. You can also add vegetables, such as onions, celery, carrots, or corn. Get creative and experiment with different flavor combinations.
- Don't overstuff the peppers: Leave some room for the peppers to expand as they cook. Otherwise, they may split open.
- Cook the peppers until they are tender: This will usually take about 1 hour on low or 30 minutes on high. You can check the peppers by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick goes in easily, the peppers are done.
Conclusion:
Slow-cooker chicken stuffed peppers are a delicious and easy meal that can be enjoyed by the whole family.
