I have a question. The rice is not cooked before adding to the pepper stuffing?  There is no liquid added when these are cooking. The rice will cook all the way by the time the peppers are done?

This was amazing! It worried me a bit with the uncooked rice but it turned out perfect. Just enough spice for my gang. The crockpot is awesome because they fit in it snug so no worries about the peppers falling over. This will be on our regular rotation.

Meatless? Low-fat? High-fiber? Reasonably low-Cal? What's not to love?  I haven't made it yet, but I love everything that goes into it, and I just bought a new slow cooker.  I will increase the spices a bit, because we like really robust flavors.  Has anyone thought of refried beans instead of black beans? For the first time out, I will do black beans.

Great recipe! Slow cooking is great but it can be made a lot healthier. Instead of a crockpot, I used MEC pure clay pot for this recipe. It cooked a lot faster and the flavor was all natural and enhanced. You should try that and I promise you'd never cook in a crockpot again.

Fabulous! One of my favorite meatless meals. Easy to pare down to one serving, too.

These were amazing! We added a ground chicken breast to the mixture. My husband doesn't like peppers very much and he loved this recipe! It is going in our files to make again!

I have prepared these ahead of time and frozen them (uncooked) to cook another day when I didn't have the time to prep it. Still turns out great!

I first made this at home and loved it.  The next time I didn't stuff the peppers, but instead added two chopped red peppers to the mix.  My pot luck group loved it, vegetarians and meat-eaters alike.

I was out of salsa, so I substituted picante sauce.  I chose to omit the cheese and the stuffed peppers were still great !

Quick and easy! and delicious too!  Definitely will make again.

I tried this again and used parboiled rice (because I couldn't find the exact kind of rice called for in the recipe).  It worked perfectly!  Cooking time was only 2.5 hours but that may be because my crock pot runs hot.  Excellent dish that we will make many times in the future! 

First time I made this, I cooked rice separately and was good. Second time I added 1/4 cup diced tomatoes to uncooked rice. Worked great.

My family loved this recipe.  I added 2 shredded chicken breasts to the recipe and used brown rice.  It was delicious!

What a fantastic way to make stuffed peppers that come out so tender and delicious. I used brown rice, which wasn't quite done when we were ready to eat, so I spooned some of the liquid from the bottom of the crock pot into the peppers. After another half hour or so, they were perfect. We enjoyed the tex-mex flavors, and I will use this method for my other stuffed pepper recipes in the future.

My hubby and I love these! So easy to make and so yummy!  Great with sour cream! I cooked the rice before I stuffed the peppers!

Pretty simple and tasty, made without any meat but could easily add grnd beef or maybe some chicken.

What is "Converted Rice"?  I usually use the original rice that comes in a plastic bag and takes about 40-45 mins. to cook.  Is "converted" rice the fast cooking kind that comes in a box  and cooks in about 5-10 min?  Or, can I use original white or brown rice?  I'm rating this only because it's the only way to submit this question....I can't figure out any other way to get my question answered through Taste of Home. This recipe does sound delicious and I do plan to try it if I can get my question answered.

Excellent flavor and SO easy.  I used quinoa (same amt) in place of rice.  I also cooked mine on high for 2 hours and low for one because I was short on time and wanted to be sure they were cooked.  Used 1c of salsa.

Really simply and easy stuffed peppers recipe. I used ground beef instead of black beans but left everything else the same. The only thing I might do differently next time is make a sauce to go with it as my husband complained some of the meat was a bit dry.

My mom often made stuffed peppers when I was growing up.  So, when I saw this recipe I had to try it.  I don't care for green peppers so I was happy to see the red sweet pepper.  My family liked it but wanted to know where the meat was! Oh well! They still ate it and liked it.  Great recipe. Easy to make.

My husband is a meat-lover, so I browned 8 oz of 93% lean ground chuck and added it to the bean mixture. I used Trader Joe's Habanero Lime Salsa...fantastic! [Note using Weight Watcher's "recipe builder" I figured WW Points Plus to be 9 per serving. If you use a full pound of meat, the point value would be 11 per serving.]

Very good recipe!  My rice did not cook, but I think that is because I cooked it for 3 (instead of 3.5 or 4) hours and used white rice.  Just take heed that you may need more like 4 hours on this one. :-)

I added more cumin and chili powder than the recipe called for, because it seemed like it would be a little bland. Next time, I will add more salsa as well. It was a pretty good recipe...my husband and son liked it more than I did, so I will make it again. I will add shredded chicken next time. Also, I took the advice of another review and added a little chicken broth..otherwise it would have been too dry,
