Slow Cooker Recipe
Vegetable-Stuffed Peppers
Our gardens are producing peppers by the bushel. We’ve been lucky to have adequate rainfall this summer, so the local peppers are big, juicy and thick-walled.
This vegetarian recipe is a nice change of pace from the usual ground beef and rice filling. If you have fresh tomatoes and corn in your garden, use them too.
Why not make a batch for your favorite vegetarian?
