Stuffed Pepper Soup!

Dinner tonight? Stuffed Pepper Soup! I love stuffed peppers, but I never make them. With three kids, who has the time to put much preparation into dinner? It seems like every time I set foot in the kitchen, that's when my baby decides he's hungry. Most of my cooking gets done after he's fed, when he and my 17-month-old are asleep and my 3-year old is playing nicely. I love slow cooker recipes because you can usually just dump everything in, set the timer, and walk away. (Now if only they invented kitchens that clean themselves!) I've made this recipe before, but this is my first time fixing it in the slow cooker. I'll let you know how it turns out, and how well it goes over with my family!

Stuffed Pepper Soup

1 lb. ground beef (or venison!)
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 c diced onion
29 oz. can diced tomatoes
29 oz. can tomato sauce
14 oz. can chicken broth
1/3 tsp thyme
1/4 tsp sage
1/4 tsp savory
salt & pepper to taste
1 c brown rice

In a large skillet, brown the meat. Drain; place in slow cooker. Add all other ingredients to the slow cooker, and stir. Cook on Low 4 hours. Enjoy!



Soup was a success! Although it only took 4 hours to cook, so I changed that. Isaiah (17 months old) likes it, but no surprise that my 3 year old just wants pbj! Off to take some to my husband at work now! :)
