*Slow Cooker Scrumptiousness* Stuffed Bell Peppers

I feel like every time we go to the market, Hubby tries to convince me to buy the pre-stuffed bell peppers that they have in the prepared section.  He loves them. 

And since I usually say no (they're overpriced and who knows how long they've been sitting there), I decided that I would make them fresh for him instead. 
And by fresh, I mean in the slow cooker.
Because I've basically forgotten how to use any of my other kitchen appliances.
(What's an oven again?  Stove?  Huh?)

And I'm sure it's going to shock you, but I got this one from A Year of Slow Cooking too.  If this woman had stock options in her company I would buy every single share. 
Obsessed.

Stuffed Bell Peppers

Ingredients

4 bell peppers

(or enough to fit your pot)

1 lb lean ground beef

1 cup cooked rice

1 can flavored tomatoes

1 tspn worcestershire sauce

2 tblspns ketchup

1 tspn black pepper

1 tspn minced garlic
(I added this bc I looove garlic)

1/3 cup water

In another bowl, mix the ground beef (raw...yes for reals), rice, tomatoes, worcestershire sauce, ketchup, garlic and black pepper (anyone else feel like this could make a good burger too?).

Wash and clean each pepper.  Save the tops to make it all perty.

Stuff each pepper with the beef and rice mixture.

Sit the peppers in the pot and put their little top hats back on. 

Pour the water around the bottom of the peppers.  They get to sit in the spa on low for the next 6 - 8 hours.  Why don't you go do something similarly relaxing?

Mine went in for a little over 8 hours and got a little prune-y, just like I do when I sit in the spa for that long.
Take them out with a big spoon and dig in (don't use tongs because you will destroy them...I learned the hard way).  Hubby nearly died of happiness when he bit in to his.  We ate every last bite.  No leftovers here, people.

Suffice to say we'll be cooking this one again soon.
