Stuffed bell peppers are one of those classic comfort meals — simple, filling, and endlessly flexible. This crockpot version makes it even easier by letting the slow cooker do all the work. You get tender peppers, flavorful beef, and cheesy goodness all in one tidy package, without needing to turn on the oven.

With just a handful of ingredients, this recipe comes together fast. The beef, rice, tomatoes, and seasoning form a savory filling that stays juicy as it cooks. A bit of cheese inside the filling adds richness, and a sprinkle on top right before serving brings it all together.

It’s a great dinner option when you want something warm and satisfying but don’t need a big batch. And because it’s scaled for two, there’s no waste and no crowding your slow cooker.

Make It a Meal

Serve your stuffed peppers with:

• A side of roasted potatoes or garlic bread – great for soaking up juices
• A simple green salad – something crunchy with a vinaigrette for balance
• Steamed green beans or zucchini – to keep the plate fresh and colorful

For a little heat, try adding red pepper flakes or swapping in pepper jack cheese. These also reheat well if you want to make them ahead.
