I love stuffed peppers, but I honestly I hate the work that they involve some days. I’m a busy Mom so the easier that I can make something, the better it is for me and the more I like it. When I’m having those nights and I’m craving a good stuffed pepper soup, I turn to this slow cooker stuffed pepper soup recipe! Why? Because it has all of the flavor of a classic stuffed pepper soup recipe with the convenience of a crockpot soup recipe! It is also super cheap to make which is good since I love inexpensive family meals!

Crockpot Stuffed Pepper Soup Recipe - Skip the oven and grab your slow cooker! This slow cooker stuffed pepper soup recipe has all of the flavor with half the work of a classic stuffed peppers recipe!

If you’re looking for freezer cooking recipes, you can add this one to your list! It freezes very well as long as it is stored in an airtight food storage container. The entire thing takes around 10 minutes to get going in the slow cooker once you’ve got the prep work done. That alone makes it worth putting into your tried and true recipes file! When you make this slow cooker stuffed pepper soup recipe, you can use whatever bell peppers that you have on hand. Sometimes I’ll use orange and other times I’ll use a mix of red and green bell peppers. If you don’t want to spend the time chopping, we have often used Thrive Life Bell Peppers and Thrive Life chopped onions in it here at our house. It still turns out amazing! For this post we had mini sweet peppers hand so that is what we used.

You can also use any ground beef or ground chuck that you want. What I usually do is make a blend of Zaycon 80/20 ground beef and Zaycon ground turkey. It cuts my cost down and makes this already cheap family meal even cheaper! If you’re considering placing a Zaycon Foods order, new customers can save 20% with our exclusive coupon code BL20. I seriously love this cheap slow cooker meal! Can you tell?! This slow cooker stuffed pepper soup recipe uses white rice. Do not use instant rice. Use uncooked white rice. Instant will be far too mushy by the time the recipe is done.

You Will Need:

  • 2 lb Ground Beef
  • 1 medium onion or 1/4 cup dehydrated onions
  • 1 tsp Minced Garlic
  • 8 cups water
  • 28 oz Tomato Sauce
  • 28 oz Diced Tomatoes
  • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • 2 cup chopped peppers or 3/4 dehydrated bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp powdered beef soup base or 1 beef bouillon cube
  • 2 tsp Black Pepper

To prep, chop the onion and pepper to whatever size you would like. You can use a yellow onion, but I don’t like the tangy flavor of yellow onions so I use a sweet white onion. It won’t change the taste much no matter which one you use.

Once your peppers and onion are chopped, add them and the minced garlic to a large frying skillet with the ground beef. Brown the beef until it is cooked through and the onions are translucent. Dump the beef into a colander to drain it then give it a rinse under clean, warm water. I realize that there are people that are against rinsing hamburger, but you see how much grease is in that skillet. I have no desire whatsoever to have that float to the top of my soup. Slightly rinse your meat in warm water. It won’t affect the taste and it’s healthier. Don’t use cold water though since you can cause the fat to solidify.

Once you’ve drained the beef, add it to your slow cooker along with the rest of the ingredients including the white rice. If you’re using dehydrated peppers and onions, add them now. Add the water all at once and give it all a good stir. If you want a heavier garlic taste, add another teaspoon of minced garlic. Cook it all on low 8-10 hours or until rice is cooked and flavors are mixed well. Be sure to give it a good stir before you turn the heat off.

This slow cooker stuffed pepper soup recipe goes great with a piece of crusty bread and some sweet cream butter! Also, you don’t have to cook the peppers with the ground beef, however, I like my ground beef to take on the flavor of the peppers and onion so I make sure to cook mine when the ground beef is browning. I just think it tastes better! This makes a fantastic lunch or easy dinner and its super cheap to make too! Try it! I think you’ll love it just as much as I do!
