Slow cooked stuffed peppers

This is a fab way to cook stuffed peppers, no mess and so easy too. Give them a try! If you're not veggie, try adding cooked beef mince or chicken. 

INGREDIENTS:

* 120g cooked quinoa 
* 1 mozzarella ball chopped into small cubes
* 1 carrot
* 1/2 onion
* 1/2 red chilli
* 1 teaspoon cumin
* 1/2 teaspoon chilli salt
* 3 bell peppers, tops cut, stemmed and seeded

DIRECTIONS:
1. Lightly coat the inside of a slow cooker with non-stick spray.
2. In a large bowl, combine quinoa, 1/2 of the cheese, carrot, onion cumin and chilli
3. Season with the chilli salt and pepper. Spoon the filling into each bell pepper cavity.
4. Place peppers into the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low heat for 5-6 hours or high for 2-3 hours, or until the peppers are tender 
5. Uncover and top with remaining cheese
6. Serve

✔️Top tip: try serving with sour cream drizzled over the top. For an extra kick add a tablespoon of salsa to the mix before cooking.
