Light Crock Pot Taco Stuffed Peppers are an amazingly simple stuffed pepper recipe made in your slow cooker for a healthy dinner idea. I love a good stuffed pepper, but sometimes I don’t have the time or rather, don’t WANT to take the time to roast the peppers and make the filling after work.
These stuffed peppers however, are a breeze! Fill them up with the delicious taco seasoned beef and rice mixture, toss them in your Crock Pot
in the morning and come home to a perfectly tender sweet pepper ready for dinner.
I am so totally and completely overwhelmed by our house remodel. When I walk into the house I just feel stressed out by all of the things that still need to be done and frankly the price I am going to have to pay to get them done! I always used to think that I would love building a house from scratch and getting to make all of the design decisions. I take it back. I take it ALL back!
I already can’t wait for it to just be done. Whether I am deciding to do pendant lights or not, what type of backsplash to go with, or the paint colors, I am worried I am going to regret my decisions. These are epic problems people. Don’t you feel so sorry for me and my home remodel…. haha, I know, I know. #FirstWorldProblems
On a bright note, many decisions have been made, most of which I am not questioning, and things seem to be coming along. I am thrilled to see it all come together in the end and will be sure to share the results with you.
