Instructions

Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove seeds and ribs, creating a hollow shell.
In a large bowl, mix together ground beef, cooked rice, parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, salt, pepper, and oregano until well combined.
Puncture holes in the bottoms of each pepper, then fill each with ⅙ of the meat mixture.
Pour about ¾ of marinara sauce at the bottom of the slow cooker, placing each filled pepper upright on the sauce, and topping with the remaining sauce.
Cook on low for 3-4 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 160˚F. Serve the stuffed peppers on a bed of marinara sauce.

Notes

Ensure the ground beef is well browned for the best flavor.
You can substitute ground turkey for a leaner option.
Customize by adding your favorite herbs or spices to the meat mixture.
