Slow Cooker Sausage and Rice Stuffed Peppers are a new way to stuff peppers! Surprise the family with this delicious dish!
Hi all! I just got back from San Diego where I did my first ever TV appearance. I made a recipe from my cookbook on a morning show. The segment went very well, but I got to tell you I am glad to be home and back to my routine!
This recipe for Slow Cooker Sausage and Rice Stuffed Peppers is like Cajun Sausage Jambalaya stuffed into peppers. It turned out amazing. I added the addition of cheese because I love my stuffed peppers with cheese on top. The cheese went very well with the flavors in the peppers. Do you have a favorite stuffed pepper recipe? I love to try different ones, let me know how you make them!
