4 large bell peppers

2 1/2 cups cooked rice -- white or brown

1 1/2 cups kidney beans, cooked -- or one

15.5-oz can, drained and rinsed

1 cup tomato salsa

3 scallions -- chopped

salt and freshly ground pepper

to taste

14 1/2 ounces crushed tomatoes -- (1 can)

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon salt

 

Cut the tops off the bell peppers, save them for later

use, and remove and discard the seeds and membranes.

Arrange the peppers upright in a 5 1/2 to 6 quart slow

salsa, and scallions and season with salt and pepper

with the rice mixture, packing it lightly. Replace the

pepper tops.

 

In the same bowl, combine the tomatoes, cumin,

oregano, and sugar and season with salt and pepper to

cooker. Cover and cook on Low for 4 hours, until the

peppers are fork-tender but still hold their shape.
