6 hrsThese crockpot stuffed peppers are the definition of dump-and-go: pack the pepper halves with a simple meatloaf mixture, stack them in your slow cooker, and walk away.
The peppers steam until tender while the meat stays incredibly juicy under a blanket of spaghetti sauce.
Come dinnertime, you look like a domestic hero.
Pro Tips
- Choose peppers with flat bottoms so they stack evenly in the crockpot
