Recipe Tips

  • It’s important to use lean ground beef as you don’t want too much fat in the slow cooker. If you can’t get your hands on some lean ground beef, then brown and drain it before mixing with the other ingredients.
  • Using uncooked rice in the beef mixture will likely lead to the rice not cooking correctly. Uncooked rice will be hard and not appetizing at all.
  • When you pour in the marinara sauce, make sure you don't get any inside the bell peppers. It can make the insides very sloppy.
  • You can use a pasta sauce or beef stock as a replacement for the marinara sauce.
  • Reduce the cooking time by setting the slow cooker to high. On high, this dish should be ready within three to four hours.
