Step 1

Brown the ground beef in a skillet on the stove top. Drain.

Step 2

Add the beef, cut up bell pepper tops, rice, 1 cup of the marinara sauce, onion, salt, garlic powder, thyme and tarragon to a medium sized bowl. Stir.

Step 3

Stuff the peppers with the filling you just made. If there is any leftover filling add it to the bottom of the slow cooker.

Step 4

Add remaining marinara sauce to the slow cooker.

Step 5

Add the stuffed peppers in the slow cooker. I try not to let them rest on the sides of the slow cooker, but most of the time they end up falling over later.

Step 6

Cover and cook on LOW for 5 hours without opening the lid during the cooking time.
