  • 6 bell peppers in various colors stems and seeds removed

Instructions

  • Scoop the mixture into each of the bell peppers, mounding at the top. Place the stuffed bell peppers into the slow cooker.
  • Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or until an instant read thermometer inserted into the center bell pepper reaches 165 degrees.
  • Prior to serving, pour remaining enchilada sauce over the stuffed bell peppers and top with remaining cheese. Replace the lid until the cheese has melted.

Notes

I used fiesta blend cheese which contains taco seasoning.  Mexican blend would work as well but does not include taco seasoning.
