Super yummy and husband approved!:) just a note, cooked them for about 5 hrs on low, checked temp, meat was done so I switched to warm for another 2.5. Peppers still had shape but we're super soft.

I added a handful of low-fat Mexican cheese blend to the filling, but I don't think it added anything. Since I was using 90% beef I omitted the water, figuring there would be plenty of liquid at the bottom. And I was right! Some of the pepper skin roasted where it was right up against the crock.<br /><br MBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16512697766841464074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-31498303612919684542011-08-06T11:32:25.508-07:002011-08-06T11:32:25.508-07:00Kristin, crock pot cooking always retains more liq...Kristin, crock pot cooking always retains more liquid than most other cooking methods because it doesn't really evaporate. All of the water probably came out of the peppers. I'd try just using less liquid in the recipe to see how it turns out.<br /><br />I have a question for those of you who used uncooked rice - did you halve the amount, or use a full cup?
