How to Make Low Carb Slow Cooker Stuffed Peppers
Spray the inside of your Crock Pot with a nonstick spray.
Cut the tops off each of the bell peppers and remove all the seeds. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine all the remaining ingredients except the beef broth, and mix well.
Tip: If you are using frozen cauliflower rice, rinse the rice in lukewarm water for a minute and squeeze out as much of the liquid as you can. Fresh cauliflower rice will release less liquid as it cooks.
Pour the beef broth into the bottom of the Crock Pot.
Spoon the filling into each pepper. Fill all the way to the top.
Gently place each stuffed pepper into the Crock Pot. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours.
