Do you like stuffed green peppers? I don't actually stuff the peppers as my husband and I will not eat them, so why waste them. So I chop mine up in smaller pieces unless my oldest son is home. As he likes the peppers whole. I dice up three peppers, small onion, 3 pounds of hamburger and salt and pepper to taste. Fry until hamburger is done, drain.. add 2.5 cups of rice and mix well. Pour into crock pot and add one large can of tomato juice. Cover and cook on low. Takes about 5 hours to cook completely. BUT... this can be slow cooked all day. I have make mine before work and put it in and start it and get home 8.5 hours later and ready to eat.
