It is so hot in St. Charles, but I don't want to stop cooking! To avoid heating up our whole house with a gas oven, I made stuffed green peppers in my slow cooker. They turned out great, were a snap to make and really easy to clean up. I had 3 HUGE peppers, so I cut them in half and stuffed each half. If you have smaller ones, feel free to use the whole pepper.
