Ingredients
  

4 large bell peppers (any color)

1 pound ground turkey (or beef)

1 cup cooked rice (white, brown, or quinoa)

1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 cup diced tomatoes (with juice)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)

Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)

1 cup chicken or vegetable broth

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peppers: Slice the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. You can chop the tops to mix into the filling if desired.

    Make the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, cooked rice, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

      Stuff the Peppers: Carefully fill each bell pepper with the meat and rice mixture. Pack it tightly but don’t overflow the tops.

        Arrange in Slow Cooker: Pour the chicken or vegetable broth into the slow cooker to create steam. Place the stuffed peppers upright in the slow cooker, ensuring they fit snugly.

          Cook the Peppers: Cover the slow cooker with a lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the peppers are tender.

            Add Cheese: In the last 15 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the stuffed peppers. Cover and allow the cheese to melt.

              Serve: Once done, gently remove the peppers and serve them warm, garnished with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired. Enjoy your delicious creation!
