Crockpot stuffed Peppers

These Crockpot Stuffed Peppers are so tasty and so easy! You don’t have to pre-cook the meat so prep time before putting these in the slow cooker is minimal.

This makes about 6 servings.

Notes: I just used taco seasoning in place of the individual spices for this recipe. I also opted to use 3 cups of cooked rice instead of the quinoa.
