Crock Pot Stuffed Peppers

Has there ever been a food you love but you just don't like to take the time to make it? Well, for me that's stuffed bell peppers. My husband has been bugging me for weeks to make some stuffed peppers do I figured I'd give in...but not until I found a simple, quick and easy recipe. Guess what....I found one!!! I did some digging and came a cross and very easy crockpot recipe! What a great way to cook...mix it together, go to work and come home 8-10 hours later with your meal ready to serve!! It doesn't get much better than that! 😍 Now don't get me wrong, I LOVE to cook (especially with my new slide in) but even I need a break sometimes. Ok...back to the recipe. This amazingly easy and delicious recipe is from Paula Deen and can be found here http://www.pauladeen.com/slow-cooker-stuffed-green-peppers. I tweaked the recipe (below) slightly to my taste...
