The classic recipe for stuffed peppers can be made more interesting if you cook the dish in a multicooker. The mince includes meat, rice and fried vegetables. If desired, the peppers can be cooked in a multicooker not in tomato sauce, but in sour cream sauce. Simmer the peppers for at least 45 minutes so that the meat turns out tender and juicy.

How to cook Stuffed peppers in a slow cooker

Step 1

Prepare the pepper filling. Fry the carrots and onions in a frying pan with vegetable oil for 5 minutes. Add the champignons to the pan. Mix the rice, fried vegetables, minced meat and spices.

Step 2

Stuff the peppers and cook them in a multicooker. Stuff the peppers with the stuffing and put them in the multicooker bowl. Add tomato paste and fill the bowl halfway with boiled water. Select the "Stewing" mode for 45 minutes.

Stuffed peppers in a slow cooker - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a different type of meat for the stuffing?

Yes, you can substitute the minced meat with ground turkey, chicken, or even plant-based alternatives like lentils or textured vegetable protein (TVP) for a vegetarian option.

How can I make this recipe vegetarian?

Replace the minced meat with quinoa, lentils, or extra mushrooms. Ensure all other ingredients, like the broth (if used), are vegetarian-friendly.

Can I cook stuffed peppers in an oven instead of a slow cooker?

Absolutely! Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30-40 minutes in a covered dish with a little water or tomato sauce at the bottom to keep them moist.

How long can I store leftover stuffed peppers?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Reheat thoroughly before serving.

Can I freeze stuffed peppers for later?

Yes, stuffed peppers freeze well. Cool completely, wrap individually, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before reheating.

What sides pair well with stuffed peppers?

Serve with a fresh green salad, crusty bread, or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. A dollop of sour cream or yogurt adds richness.

How can I reduce the carbs in this dish?

Swap the rice for cauliflower rice or omit it entirely, adding more minced meat or vegetables to the filling for volume.

Can I use other types of peppers for this recipe?

Yes, bell peppers of any color work well, or try poblano peppers for a milder twist. Adjust cooking time if using smaller or larger peppers.

Do I need to pre-cook the rice before stuffing the peppers?

Yes, partially cook the rice (about 70% done) as it will finish cooking in the slow cooker. Uncooked rice may absorb too much liquid and become mushy.
