Slow Cooker Stuffed Peppers
Slow Cooker Stuffed Peppers
These slow cook stuffed peppers are a weeknight win! You can prep everything on your meal prep day and then easily build it together when it is time to throw it in the slow cooker. Mix the meat ahead of time and form the “meatballs”. Store the meatballs in the fridge in a storage bag or container until the day you are ready to cook (store no more than 3 days). You can also prepare the peppers ahead of time by cutting the tops and taking the seeds out. The rest of the ingredients are pretty much dump and go! Using your meal prep day to prepare as much as possible, makes for easy weeknight meals!
