Onto a delish and simple and healthy recipe!
This recipe has been floating around Pinterest and I have been meaning to try it for awhile now! I modified the original recipe a tiny bit and here are my ingredients. To see the original recipe, you can click the link above!
I had a tiny hiccup while prepping these. Ha!
Slow-Cooker Greek Stuffed Peppers
- 4 large bell peppers (I used a color mix)
- 1 can (15 ounces) garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup crumbled fat free feta (4 ounces) (I would add an extra 1/2-1 cup next time)
- Trader Joe’s Brown Rice, Red Rice and Black Barley mix (I used 2 bags)
- 4 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- {I think I would add fresh basil next time as well}
{they’re not pretty but they taste delish!}
Directions
-
Slice a very thin layer from the base of each bell pepper so they sit flat (I didn’t do this and they were fine) Slice off tops just below stem. Discard stems; chop tops, and place in a medium bowl. Remove ribs and seeds from peppers.
-
Add beans, feta, rice/barely mix, scallions, garlic salt, and oregano in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine. Stuff peppers with the mixture; place upright in slow cooker. Cover; cook on high, 4 hoursThat’s it! So simple and really yummy! My bud
dy did an awesome spin on these back in March and brought me one for dinner (yay!) and they were so delish!!!! I planned to add zucchini like she did but realized I didn’t have one while I was prepping! Oh well! We were discussing the fact, that there are so many possibilities with this recipe and so many ways to modify it! I have an Italian recipe that I’m going to attempt next week and I am already excited for it! Will post the recipe for sure!Have a happy Thursday!!! Two more days till the weekend! Get the cocktails ready!xoxo,Ashley
Looks amazing Ashley:) I can't wait to try it!
Happy Thursday!
